What is Heathrow Air Freight Collection and why does it matter for London businesses?
Heathrow Airport is the UK's busiest aviation hub, handling over 80 million passengers annually and processing hundreds of tonnes of air freight every day. For London-based businesses shipping internationally or managing AOG (Aircraft on Ground) emergencies, speed is everything. T&C Logistics operates 24/7 air freight collection services specifically designed for Heathrow's tight schedules.
Our fleet of GPS-tracked, ULEZ-compliant vehicles can reach any location across London's 32 boroughs within 30–60 minutes of your booking. We manage collections from the City, Canary Wharf, King's Cross, Croydon, and every postcode in between. With our direct relationships with Heathrow's freight forwarders and cargo terminals, your shipment moves seamlessly from collection to departure — no delays, no confusion.
We process over 40 air freight collections weekly across London, building expertise in time-sensitive logistics that airlines and freight forwarders depend on. Our average collection-to-terminal time is 82 minutes from booking to arrival at cargo reception.

"Heathrow is where timing meets precision. We've learned that a 15-minute delay in collection can cost our clients thousands. That's why we guarantee 30–60 minute collections and maintain 24/7 dispatch — because air freight doesn't follow office hours." — Taras, Founder, T&C Logistics
