Dear Valued Unique Customer
The below message is sent from our Asia office with regard to the tight air freight due to peak demand. Please be aware of slower transit times to be expected on deferred and direct routes due to potential backlog at the major hub airports such as Hong Kong, Taipei, Seoul, and Tokyo. If you have any sizable air shipments (+3000 kgs), please do contact our office in advance so that we can coordinate planning with our origin offices.
Thank you for
your support of Unique Logistics International. We appreciate and value
your business!
Best Regards
David Hickmott - Executive Vice President

Dear All,
Due to the recent upsurge of air freight demand particularly the tremendous
increase of Hi-Tech & Toys shipments were being switched from ocean to air
to catch up the Christmas sales, the air space out of HKG is quite critical and
tight this week. Besides, the air market has been very slow for last 9 months,
most carriers reluctant to increase any schedule for this peak season that made
the space situation even worse now. Almost all the airlines are having backlog
situation as well as for the major Asia hubs like NRT, TPE, ICN.
Therefore, the average transit time will be relatively prolonged for at least 2
to 3 days for normal shipments and probably longer for those sizeable
shipments. In order to best protect your upcoming urgent shpts, please
alert us by addressing should you have any large size and/or extremely urgent
shpts that has any arrival deadline and we will do our best to protect.
Thank you for your kind attention.
Best regards
Peter Li
