Allied Air cargo Nigeria is relevant to businesses looking for dedicated airfreight capacity rather than a passenger baggage allowance. Allied Air’s website advertises scheduled freighter services and invites enquiries about scheduled capacity or charter. Your booking still needs confirmation for the route, date and goods being shipped.
Where to enquire about Allied Air cargo
Allied Air’s official website identifies Lagos as its hub and lists info@alliedairng.com for enquiries. It describes cargo handling and a network of sales agents. Ask whether the airline or an appointed agent should process your shipment.
Explain whether you are moving domestic freight, importing into Nigeria or shipping to another African destination. A general route list is not evidence that a direct service operates for your consignment on your required date.
Information needed for a freight quotation
- Origin and destination airport, plus any onward delivery address.
- Commodity description and the sender’s intended dispatch date.
- Number of pieces, gross weights and packed dimensions.
- Stackability, fragility and special handling requirements.
- Required arrival deadline and flexibility in routing.
For equipment, include the heaviest piece and any lifting instructions. For food or medical products, describe the actual temperature and handling requirements. Do not assume those goods are accepted because the airline operates freighters.
Scheduled capacity or charter?
Scheduled capacity can suit a shipment that fits an available departure and aircraft. Charter enquiries may be relevant when size, volume or timing cannot fit that option. Ask the commercial team to explain the service offered and its limitations.
Request date-specific confirmation of the operating flight or charter window. Aircraft door access, floor loading and route payload can affect acceptance even when the total shipment weight seems modest.
Understand the quote and airport process
Ask whether charges use actual or volumetric weight, which minimums apply and whether handling, security screening or storage are separate. Confirm the receiving cargo terminal, acceptance cut-off and documents that must accompany the goods.
For international freight, establish who prepares export documents and handles Nigerian customs and airport release. Obtain the air waybill or booking reference and agree how the recipient will receive arrival updates.
Frequently asked questions
Does Allied Air cargo include doorstep delivery?
Confirm the quoted scope. Freighter transport and airport handling do not automatically include collection or final-mile delivery.
What is the Allied Air cargo rate per kilogram?
A reliable rate requires the route, commodity, weight, dimensions and service date. Obtain a current written quote rather than using an unsourced online price.
Can I bring cargo to the airport without a booking?
First obtain acceptance instructions from the airline or agent. An unconfirmed load may miss the cut-off or be unsuitable for the assigned aircraft.
Turn your enquiry into a workable shipping plan
For a business importing stock to Nigeria, give the forwarder a carton-level packing list and the destination delivery address. Ask whether the proposed movement is a confirmed freight booking, a planned consolidation awaiting space, or a dedicated charter. These arrangements can have different acceptance and departure conditions. Decide who will arrange customs clearance before dispatch, and make sure the consignee details match the intended importer. Have a plan for inspection, airport release and road delivery rather than treating the arrival flight as the end of the shipment.
Compare the complete quotation
Ask for the total payable for the same shipment and delivery endpoint. A lower flight charge can leave screening, storage, handling and road transport to be paid separately. Identify who will notify the receiver when the cargo is ready and who pays for a delay in collection. Keep written acceptance with the booking reference before releasing the goods.

How Travo can assist
For a consignment travelling into or out of Nigeria, Travo’s international shipping service offers freight coordination, supplier collection and consolidation, customs support through licensed clearing partners and onward delivery. If imported stock needs holding before distribution, ask about warehouse storage and fulfilment. Request the scope for your actual origin and destination, including any overseas partner arrangements and local delivery charges.
Request a shipment plan from Travo with your collection and delivery addresses, goods description, dimensions, weight and deadline. Ask which services are included, which need separate approval and what the delivery estimate depends on. This lets you coordinate the ground journey with the airline’s confirmed acceptance.
