Hi, I'm looking for info on air shipping companies for a motorcycle from the US to India by air. I recall seeing info somewhere (on this site I believe) for a company that could fit bikes into standard air cargo containers, but I can't seem to find it now. If anyone knows what company that is, please let me know.

I live a reasonably close distance from the New York/New Jersey area, so getting my bike to JFK or Newark won't be an issue, and I "have people" at the India end so I can receive my bike without difficulty. The only piece I'm missing is the middleman.

Is there anything in the shipping your bike section? I would also look into Air Canada who conditions permitting fly bikes to Europe with little fuss, I am not sure if they go to India though.
As you have people there have you considered buying there? It will need to be registered by an Indian but that does not sound like it would be a problem and having ridden there on both a BMW 800 and a couple of Honda 150 can say the smaller bikes are more suitable, it doesn't have to be that small but I found the large bike something of a liability.

No, I am not interested in buying there. I just finished paying off my Super Tenere here. Also, I lived in India for four years, and am moving back; other than the Tiger, the import bikes there are wildly overpriced due to the 104% import tariff India imposes.

I thought about Air Canada, because they do have direct flights to Delhi, but unfortunately their webpage says they're not doing bike shipments right now. Also, the border between the US and Canada is shut to all traffic that isn't approved commercial trucks. I need a shipper that has a US-based terminal.

check in with James Cargo, their ad is at the top of this page, or Motofreight, in the shipping links, both are based in England but ship anywhere to anywhere. Both are recommended.
