An integrated carrier refers to an airfreight company that combines various transportation services, including air carriage, freight forwarding, and ground handling. By offering these comprehensive services, integrated carriers provide a convenient and consolidated solution for shippers seeking to transport their goods. This integrated approach eliminates the need for coordinating multiple shipments with different carriers, streamlining the logistics process. Furthermore, integrated carriers often offer competitive rates and enhanced services due to their ability to provide all required services in-house, resulting in increased efficiency and convenience for shippers.
