Air freight transportation
Air transport is suitable for situations where speed and exact delivery deadlines are important. Backloads organizes air cargo transportation from and to Latvia, using Riga International Airport and a network of cooperation partners in other countries. We provide standard, express, temperature-controlled and dangerous goods transportation in accordance with applicable IATA requirements. If necessary, we also help with documentation, cargo packaging requirements and selection of a suitable route. Air transportation is a good solution for high-value goods, spare parts, medical products, e-commerce shipments and other cargo where delivery time is essential.

Sea transport is an economical solution for larger shipments and cargo, where the delivery time is not as critical as in air transport. Backloads organizes full container loads or FCL and consolidated sea cargo or LCL transportation. We work with cargo from Asia, America, Europe and other regions, ensuring delivery through the largest ports in the world. We help you choose a suitable container, prepare documents and coordinate further delivery of the cargo to a warehouse in Latvia or another destination. We also organize transportation of oversized, frozen, dangerous and project cargo, if the cargo requires an individual solution.
