Frequently Asked Questions
How long does air freight to Cyprus take?
Standard air freight from Europe typically arrives within 1–3 days, from the US and Asia within 3–5 days. Express services can deliver within 24–48 hours from most European cities. Transit times depend on origin, airline routing, and customs clearance speed.

Can you ship dangerous goods by air to Cyprus?
Yes, Shoham is certified to handle IATA Dangerous Goods shipments by air. This includes chemicals, lithium batteries, flammable materials, and other regulated items. All dangerous goods must be properly classified, packaged, and documented according to IATA DGR regulations.
What is the difference between air freight and air courier?
Air freight is a cargo service for larger or heavier shipments (typically 50kg+), loaded onto commercial or cargo aircraft. Courier services (like DHL, FedEx) are better for small parcels. Shoham's air freight service is more cost-effective for commercial volumes and offers customs-cleared, door-to-door delivery.
Can perishable goods be shipped by air to Cyprus?
Yes, we regularly handle perishable air freight including pharmaceuticals, fresh produce, flowers, and temperature-sensitive products. We arrange temperature-controlled storage, cold chain documentation, and priority customs clearance to minimize transit time.
Which airports in Cyprus handle air freight?
Larnaca International Airport is the primary air cargo hub in Cyprus, handling the majority of freight traffic. Paphos Airport also handles some cargo operations. Shoham manages customs clearance and delivery from both airports.
