Nelson Mandela Bay to Gauteng, and Gauteng back to the Bay. Heavy items collected at the door, flown, and delivered next day in most cases.
This is the route Uplift Freight started on. A road courier quoted R6 800 and three to five days to move one heavy shipment from Port Elizabeth to Johannesburg. Flying the same shipment was a fraction of that, and it arrived the same day. Port Elizabeth to Johannesburg is about 1 050 km by road and roughly 1 hour 40 minutes in the air.
From Johannesburg and Pretoria we collect and fly back to Chief Dawid Stuurman International, then deliver across Port Elizabeth, Coega and Kariega (Uitenhage).
We move heavy items for businesses and private customers, from 35 kg.

It depends on the weight and size of what you're sending and the suburbs at each end. As a real example, a road courier quoted R6 800 for one heavy shipment on this route; flying it cost a fraction of that. Send us the details for a fixed price.
Yes. We collect across Nelson Mandela Bay, including Coega, Kariega (Uitenhage) and Despatch.
Both. The city was renamed Gqeberha in 2021; the airport is Chief Dawid Stuurman International. We collect and deliver across the whole metro either way.
