How Eurogate delivers this service

Eurogate’s services are delivered through experienced teams who manage lanes across their regions, coordinate between markets where required, and support customers from collection to delivery. That includes customs management, local market guidance, and direct communication throughout the movement.

Our own desks at the airport

Our team runs the booking, documents, and airside handover directly, so an instruction reaches the people loading the aircraft, not a third party.

Direct airline rates

IATA CASS membership lets us book and settle with the airline directly, so the rate is the carrier’s rather than a marked-up consolidation price.

Pharma handled by our Budapest-Airport desk

Biological substances and temperature-sensitive goods travel with the loggers, validated boxes, and refrigerant they need, prepared at our Budapest-Airport desk.

Screening kept moving

If a consignment fails initial screening, the team arranges secondary or third-party screening so it still makes the flight it was booked on.

FAQs

When should I choose air freight over sea or road?

Air freight suits cargo that is time-critical, high in value, or temperature-sensitive, where the speed justifies the higher cost per kilo. It is the usual choice when road or sea has run out of time, when a quality failure needs an urgent replacement, or when a pharma shipment needs both speed and a controlled temperature. For routine, cost-led freight with time to spare, sea or road normally works out cheaper.

Is Eurogate IATA-accredited and on CASS?

Yes. Eurogate Logistics holds IATA CASS membership, so our desks book airline space directly and settle air waybills through the Cargo Accounts Settlement System. That means you get a rate from the chosen airline rather than a consolidator's mark-up, with the booking handled by our own people.

Which airports does Eurogate serve?

We run airport-side air freight desks in Hungary and the Czech Republic, at Budapest-Airport and Prague-Airport, with further air desks in the UK and Poland. Because we book directly with the airlines, we can route through whichever departure and arrival airports suit the lane, including high-demand corridors such as China to the UK.

Can you carry dangerous goods by air?

Yes. We handle UN-classified dangerous goods by air, with classification, documentation, and screening managed in-house by the same operator who books the flight. Goods with specific air restrictions, such as lithium batteries, are assessed against the current IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations before booking, so tell us the cargo type and any UN numbers at the enquiry stage.

How is air freight priced (chargeable versus actual weight)?

Air freight is charged on whichever is greater, the actual weight or the volumetric (chargeable) weight, which converts the size of the consignment into a weight figure. Light, bulky cargo is therefore usually priced on its volume, while dense cargo is priced on its actual weight. Send us the dimensions, weight, and commodity and we will confirm the chargeable weight and a rate for the lane.

Do you offer door-to-airport and door-to-door air freight?

Both. On door-to-door terms we arrange collection from the shipper, the flight, and final delivery to the consignee. On airport-only terms the cargo is released from the airline shed at destination for the consignee's own clearance and collection, and the same operator runs the job from quote through to whichever handover point applies.
