About Heathrow Air Freight Collections in Belfast
Heathrow Airport is the UK's largest and busiest international gateway, handling over 80 million passengers annually and serving as a critical hub for air freight exports worldwide. For Belfast-based businesses, accessing Heathrow's air freight services requires reliable ground transport — and that's where T&C Logistics steps in. We've built a specialised operation around the unique demands of air freight: coordinated collection schedules, strict handling protocols, and guaranteed delivery windows to meet Heathrow's tight flight departure times. Our team in Belfast understands the Irish logistics landscape, the ferry crossings to Great Britain, and the precise timing needed to get shipments from your warehouse to the airport's cargo terminal with hours to spare before takeoff.
We collect from addresses across Belfast — from the Titanic Quarter to East Belfast, South Belfast to the business parks around Lisburn and Ballymena. Our average collection time is 42 minutes, meaning you can call in the morning and your shipment can be on its way to Heathrow the same day. With a fleet of over 50 vehicles, all ULEZ-compliant and GPS-tracked, we maintain the reliability that international air freight demands.

- Electronics and components — IT equipment, circuit boards, and high-value tech components for manufacturers and retailers.
- Fashion and retail goods — Seasonal stock and urgent inventory for distributors exporting to EU and international markets.
- Engineering and spare parts — Heavy industrial components for manufacturers and AOG (Aircraft on Ground) emergency support.
- Documents and lightweight parcels — Important paperwork, samples, and time-sensitive small shipments.
