Air Freight

Asia To Oceania, On The Aircraft That Actually Has Space.

When your cargo can't wait for a vessel, the question isn't whether air freight is fast — it's whether your forwarder can find capacity on the day you need it, at a price that still makes sense. KLN Oceania connects Australia and New Zealand to the world's busiest manufacturing markets through the strongest air network in Asia, backed by a local team that answers the phone.

Why Choose Us

Why Importers And Exporters Choose Us

Three reasons KLN Oceania handles air freight differently to most forwarders you've worked with.

Part Of Asia's Largest Cargo Airline Group

KLN is a member of S.F. Holding, whose cargo airline operates the largest freighter fleet in Mainland China — 747-400ERF, 767-300BCF and 757-200F aircraft flying out of Shenzhen, Hangzhou and other major hubs. For southbound cargo from China and Asia into Oceania, it means controlled capacity when the market tightens.

Scale That Earns You Priority — Anywhere

KLN moves more than 827,000 tonnes of air freight annually across 59 countries and territories, and we're ranked No. 7 in the Top 50 Air Freight Forwarders 2026 by Transport Topics & Armstrong & Associates, Inc. With 375+ airline partners, your options don't end when one carrier says no.

Local Specialists, Not A Global Call Centre

Our Australian and New Zealand teams live in these markets. Air, ocean and customs sit under one relationship — no handoffs, no finger-pointing when something goes wrong. We're big enough to matter to the airlines, small enough to care about your shipment.

What We Move

What We Move, And How

Six ways we get cargo from origin to your door across Oceania.

Commercial Airline Consolidations

Consolidated and direct uplift with leading carriers across Asia–Oceania and long-haul trades — from a single pallet to a full ULD.

S.F. Freighter Capacity

Dedicated air freight capacity on our group's own fleet — particularly valuable ex-China through peak season and market disruption.

Multimodal Air–Sea

When the deadline is tight but the budget isn't unlimited, air–sea via Asian transhipment hubs cuts days off ocean transit for a fraction of pure air cost.

Trans-Tasman

Frequent, flexible capacity between Australia and New Zealand. Ship both sides of the Tasman and deal with one team, not two providers.

Charter & Time-Critical

Access to charter capacity at short notice for AOG, project cargo and recovery situations where a missed date costs more than the freight.

Door-to-Door

Origin pick-up, export clearance, consolidation, uplift, customs brokerage and last-mile delivery — one shipment, one point of contact, one invoice.

Choose Your Speed

Four Service Levels, So You Only Pay For The Urgency You Need

The Difference

From Chasing Capacity To Controlling It

Most forwarders are re-selling the same space to everyone. Ours is partly our own.

Booking Air Freight The Usual Way
Waitlisted when carriers say space is gone
No visibility until a milestone updates
Separate providers for air, ocean, customs
Premium pricing or waiting at peak season
With KLN Oceania
Controlled capacity on our own S.F. freighter fleet
Tracked milestones from booking to POD
One relationship for air, ocean, customs
375+ airline partners as backup
Customs & Compliance

Customs And Compliance, Handled

Air cargo lands fast — and gets held up just as fast when the paperwork isn't right. Our in-house Australian and New Zealand customs brokers pre-clear cargo before arrival and keep you ahead of regulatory change.

Pre-Arrival Clearance

So cargo moves the day it lands

Tariff & Permit Management

Classification, valuation and permit handling in-house

Biosecurity Requirements

Seasonal pest and biosecurity checks managed end to end

Specialised Cargo Handling

Dangerous goods, temperature-sensitive and high-value cargo

Visibility Without The Chasing

Every air shipment is tracked from booking to proof of delivery — milestone updates, documents and POD in one place. If something changes, you'll hear it from us first.
