Air Freight: Air Cargo Shipping from and to Jamaica

Air Freight: Air Cargo Shipping from and to Jamaica

DATE: 03/02/23

Jamaica is an island nation located in the West Indies in the Caribbean. The country takes its name from an Arawak word, Xaymaca, meaning Land of Wood and Water. Jamaica is just that, a lush landscape home to a brisk tourism trade. However, Jamaica is much more than tourism and Amerijet would know because they’ve been servicing the island’s cargo needs since 1997.

One of Jamaica’s main exports is produce: yams, turmeric, and peppers to name a few and Amerijet is the preferred carrier for this commodity as they fly twice a week, Mondays and Thursdays, into Miami. This means distributors are getting the freshest produce possible.

Another reason shippers choose Amerijet is that their network connects to most of the other Caribbean islands.

It’s the human element that really makes the Kingston office shine. Many customers must travel from other parishes to this office and so the team is sensitive to their needs. For example, when a customer had an urgent shipment coming in on a day that the offices were closed, the team went above and beyond, came in and opened the office to provide that extra mile service. In fact, Operations Manager, Michael Fennel gives all the credit to his team. He says, “The wheel can’t turn without the spokes, everybody plays a part to keep the wheel turning. That’s one thing we do here, promote teamwork, and we have a great team. We keep pushing to do better and better every day.”

With almost 50 years of experience in air cargo logistics, Amerijet’s global network reaches 527 destinations with seamless and transparent transportation solutions for customers shipping time-sensitive, valuable, temperature-controlled, hazardous materials, and other commodity types. By taking advantage of their extensive network capabilities such as online tracking systems combined with dedicated customer service representatives, companies can rest assured that they have chosen a reliable partner who can help them make sure their products get delivered safely, regardless of where they need to go around the world!

From Jamaican exports like produce and general cargo, to Jamaican imports that range from fresh cut flowers to heavy machinery, Amerijet makes sure it gets where it needs to go. If your business is looking for a reliable partner who has decades of experience dealing with everything related to shipping air cargo, then look no further than Amerijet–your one stop shop for all your global shipping needs.
