About Us

Our Story — Established in 2002

Flair Shipping began operations in Dubai in 2002 and has since developed experience across international cargo transportation, UAE customs procedures, regional road freight and specialised logistics.

Over the years, we have handled shipments across different industries, transport modes and international markets, from conventional commercial consignments to machinery and cargo requiring specialist handling.

While international shipping continues to evolve, our approach remains grounded in understanding the cargo, assessing the available transportation options and coordinating the parties involved in its movement.

Today, Flair Shipping continues to operate independently from Dubai, supporting the freight requirements of importers, exporters, manufacturers and trading businesses.

Our Approach to Freight Forwarding

Freight Arrangements Built Around Your Cargo

Every shipment has different commercial and operational requirements.

We assess cargo dimensions, gross weight, origin, destination, delivery expectations and applicable handling requirements before evaluating suitable transportation arrangements.

Rather than relying on a single carrier or predetermined route, we consider available shipping services, transit schedules, equipment suitability, handling charges and overall transportation costs.

For specialised cargo, additional considerations may include lifting arrangements, securing requirements, permits, customs procedures and transport restrictions.

Our objective is to provide practical freight options supported by clear communication and effective coordination.

International Freight. Coordinated from Dubai

Flair Shipping coordinates international cargo movements from its headquarters in Dubai, working with shipping lines, airlines, overseas freight forwarding agents and logistics service providers across different markets.

Our international capabilities are supported by independent forwarding relationships developed according to each shipment's origin, destination and operational requirements.

UAE Imports

We arrange inbound ocean, air, road and multimodal freight for businesses importing goods into the United Arab Emirates.

Depending on the shipment, arrangements may include origin collection, international transportation, cargo handling, UAE customs clearance coordination and inland delivery.

UAE Exports

For shipments originating in the UAE, we coordinate international freight arrangements according to the cargo, destination and available transportation services.

These may include collection, export documentation, carrier bookings, cargo handling and overseas destination coordination.

GCC Road Transportation

We arrange domestic UAE transportation and cross-border road freight involving Saudi Arabia, Oman, Bahrain, Kuwait and Qatar, subject to route availability and applicable border requirements.

Services may include full truckloads, part loads, container haulage and specialist vehicle arrangements.

Cross-Trade & Third-Country Shipping

Not every international shipment needs to pass through the UAE.

Flair Shipping arranges cross-trade freight between overseas countries through suitable carriers and forwarding partners, coordinating origin handling, international transportation, documentation and destination arrangements as required.

Multimodal Freight Connections

Some shipments require more than one transportation mode.

We arrange suitable combinations of ocean, air and road freight, including Sea–Air and Air–Air connections, where these provide practical routing alternatives.

Overseas Forwarding Partnerships

We cooperate with overseas freight forwarding agents and service providers to coordinate local handling, documentation, customs arrangements and onward transportation in different markets.

International service availability depends on the cargo, the intended route, applicable regulations and the transportation options available for the shipment.
