Morphology
The phrase is fully compositional: 'air' (by airplane) + 'freight' (commercial cargo) + 'service' (a commercial offering) directly yields 'a commercial service that transports goods by aircraft.' This noun-noun-plus-service pattern is cross-linguistically common and follows straightforward English composition, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents would understand it.
Etymology
Air freight service gives a simple picture: freight means goods, air means by plane, and service is a business that moves them. So it means a business that 'moves goods by plane', which is why people use it for shipping items quickly by aircraft.
