Air Freight
Reliable air freight forwarding with real-time tracking, charter capacity, and AI-powered planning for time-sensitive cargo.
Mission-critical freight requires a mission-critical partner
Data center logistics isn't general freight. You're moving extreme-value components and hazardous materials against construction schedules where one missed delivery costs weeks. Flexport built a team of experts, and a solution for exactly that.
White glove handling for high-value cargo
AI clusters are incredibly sensitive to vibration, and a single road bump can unseat expensive GPUs. Flexport provides white glove handling, shock and tilt monitoring, and certified asset-based carriers vetted to the standards hyperscalers require.
Dangerous goods and safety compliance
Single racks can weigh 3,500 to 4,000 pounds and need dock-height assets, while high-power backup systems carry Class 9 lithium-ion batteries and liquid cooling fluids. Flexport holds Dangerous Goods, CTPAT, and TAPA Level A certification, the highest security level the Transportation Asset Protection Association offers.
Precision site sequencing
Flexport manages highly sequenced deliveries so expensive components arrive exactly when the site is ready for installation, avoiding costly dock-drop bottlenecks and protecting your build timeline.
End-to-end security
Our warehouse network covers all major hubs with full CCTV protection, with shock, tilt, and temperature monitoring throughout transit and a certified network of trucking carriers moving cargo safely.
A build cycle with no margin for delay
$3T: Global investment in the current AI infrastructure build-out cycle.
$1M+: Cost of a single AI compute rack that must arrive intact.
57%: Share of data center projects hit by construction delays in 2025.
Global scale, white glove precision
Flexport combines the reach of a global logistics platform with the specialized handling that mission-critical infrastructure demands. Our Center of Excellence for Data Center Logistics delivers end-to-end solutions across ocean, air, and ground.

98%+ on-time air performance for high-tech goods
Flexport delivers 98%+ on-time performance for the world's most demanding technology supply chains. We achieve this by securing dedicated ground setups at major hubs that pick up directly from the tarmac, bypassing handling terminals. Strong partnerships with ground handling providers ensure prioritized drop-off and pick-up at all major airports.
White glove service and project management
We handle complex ocean and air freight deliveries, including critical "line-down" projects that require Next Flight Out (NFO) service, 747-400F charter solutions for oversized pieces and large-scale projects, and highly orchestrated white glove delivery to construction sites.
Navigate trade complexity with confidence
Data center builds involve components sourced from across the globe, with complex tariff classifications, high-value declarations, and time-sensitive customs brokerage. Flexport's customs solutions are built to protect your timeline and your bottom line.
