Horizon Air Freight

No, Horizon Air Freight operates as a non-asset-based freight forwarder. The firm charters capacity from shipowners and airlines rather than maintaining an owned fleet, which allows it to select the most suitable vessel or aircraft type for each specialized shipment.

The firm specializes in project cargo, breakbulk, heavy-lift machinery, and out-of-gauge shipments. Typical consignments include oil and gas drilling equipment, power-generation turbines, modular hospital units, and humanitarian aid supplies destined for remote or infrastructure-limited import locations.

Public records indicate a focus on exports from North America to the Middle East, West Africa, and Central Asia. The firm frequently arranges deliveries to ports and inland destinations in Iraq, Nigeria, and Afghanistan, where standard containerized liner services are either absent or impractical for the cargo dimensions.

For landlocked destinations in Central Asia and parts of Africa, the firm designs multimodal transport plans that combine ocean freight to a regional gateway port, discharge onto rail or heavy-haul trucks, and final delivery across international borders, managing customs clearance at each transit point through local agents.

The firm participates in humanitarian and infrastructure-related government cargo movements, including aid shipments managed by USAID contractors. Its neutral-carrier model allows it to comply with government cargo preference rules, such as chartering US-flag air carriers when required by the Fly America Act.
