How Airlift moves cargo from Ennore to New York

Airlift USA ships full containers (FCL), less-than-container loads (LCL) and air freight from India to the United States. Ocean freight takes about 31–60 days port to port for most port pairs. On Airlift’s own shipments (P10–P90, sailings July 2025 to June 2026), Mundra to New York took 30–39 days, Nhava Sheva to New York 32–40 days, Nhava Sheva to Savannah 36–45 days, Nhava Sheva to Los Angeles 37–56 days and Chennai to Los Angeles 37–54 days. Air freight takes 3–5 days airport to airport on direct services from Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai and Hyderabad.

Both ends of the India–USA lane are Airlift offices, not agents. In India, 14 Airlift group branches, including Navi Mumbai near Nhava Sheva, Gandhidham for Mundra and Kandla, Ahmedabad, Chennai, Coimbatore and Kolkata, handle pickup, container stuffing and export clearance. In the USA, the New Jersey and Los Angeles offices of AIRLIFT (U.S.A.), INC., an FMC-licensed NVOCC (FMC No. 016162), file the ISF, coordinate the customs entry through licensed customs brokers and arrange delivery. Based on Airlift’s bookings over the last 12 months, the recurring cargo is granite and stone slabs, engineered quartz, cast iron and electrical insulators.

Origin gateways on this lane: Mundra, Nhava Sheva, Ennore, Kolkata, Chennai, Pipavav, Kattupalli and Tuticorin. US gateways: New York, Norfolk, Savannah, Houston, Los Angeles, Charleston, Newark and Oakland.

Each range runs from the 10th to the 90th percentile (P10–P90) of Airlift’s own shipments on that port pair, port to port, for sailings that departed between July 1, 2025, and June 30, 2026. These are planning ranges, not guaranteed transit times. Confirm the current routing and sailing schedule when you request a quote.

From pickup to delivery: stages around the ocean leg (35–48 days)

  1. Origin pickup and drayage

    Collection from the shipper and the truck run to the load port or CFS (the warehouse where LCL cargo is consolidated). Timing depends on distance inland, equipment availability and the terminal appointment, so we quote it per shipment. Book it against the carrier cut-off, not the sailing date.

  2. Export clearance and cut-offs

    The export declaration, documents, and the VGM (verified gross mass) and gate cut-offs ahead of the sailing. Cut-offs typically fall several days before ETD and vary by carrier and terminal. Missing one rolls the container to the next sailing — the single most common reason a lane runs long.

  3. Ocean transit (port to port)35–48 days

    The sailing itself, from ETD at the load port to ETA at the discharge port. This is the only stage we put a number on, and that number is typical and schedule-dependent: it shifts with the service string, the number of transshipments and congestion at either end.

  4. US import clearance and release

    ISF filing before loading, then entry and release once the vessel arrives. A clean entry filed in advance often clears around arrival; an exam, a PGA (partner government agency) hold or a classification query adds time no schedule can predict. Airlift coordinates clearance through our licensed broker network.

  5. Terminal release and final delivery

    The container becomes available at the terminal; then chassis, appointment, and the drayage or line-haul to the consignee. Free time at the terminal runs out, so book the delivery appointment before the vessel berths, not after.
