Air Cargo Charter FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to the most common aircraft charter questions

When should I choose cargo charter instead of scheduled air freight?

Cargo charter is often the preferred solution when:

  • Shipments are time-critical
  • Scheduled capacity is unavailable
  • Cargo is oversized or unusually heavy
  • Goods require specialist handling
  • Delivery deadlines cannot be missed
  • Freight must reach remote or underserved destinations


For many organizations, the cost of a delay far exceeds the cost of a charter flight.

What information do you need to provide a quote?

To provide an accurate charter solution, we typically require:

  • Collection and delivery locations
  • Cargo description
  • Weight and dimensions
  • Number of pieces
  • Ready date and required delivery timeline
  • Any special handling requirements

 

The more information provided, the faster we can identify suitable aircraft options.

What types of cargo can you transport?

We can arrange aircraft for a wide range of cargo, including:

  • General freight
  • Aircraft parts and AOG shipments
  • Automotive components
  • Oil and gas equipment
  • Humanitarian aid
  • Pharmaceuticals
  • Dangerous goods
  • High-value cargo
  • Event and entertainment equipment
  • Oversized and heavy-lift cargo


Each project is assessed individually to ensure the most suitable aircraft and routing solution.

Can you arrange Aircraft on Ground (AOG) charters?

Yes. Our team supports urgent AOG requirements worldwide. We understand the operational and financial impact of grounded aircraft and work to source suitable lift as quickly as possible to minimize downtime.

How quickly can a cargo charter be arranged?

Depending on aircraft availability, routing, permits, and cargo requirements, some charters can be arranged within a matter of hours. For urgent requirements, our team operates 24/7 to identify and secure the most appropriate solution.

Can you transport dangerous goods?

Yes. We can arrange charter solutions for many classes of dangerous goods, subject to regulatory approval and aircraft operator acceptance. Our team will advise on documentation, packaging, and handling requirements.

Can you transport oversized or heavy cargo?

Yes. We regularly arrange aircraft capable of carrying oversized, out-of-gauge, and heavy-lift cargo. Depending on the shipment, this may include ramp-loading aircraft, nose-loading freighters, or specialist heavy-lift aircraft.

Do you offer part-charter solutions?

Yes. Where a full aircraft is not required, we can explore part-charter or shared-capacity solutions to provide a more cost-effective alternative while maintaining flexibility and speed.

Can you arrange customs clearance and ground handling?

Yes. Through our global network of logistics and ground handling partners, we can assist with customs coordination, airport handling, loading equipment, and other operational requirements to support a seamless shipment.

Which aircraft do you use?

The aircraft selected depends entirely on your cargo requirements. We source from a global network of approved operators and identify the most suitable aircraft based on payload, dimensions, routing, timeline, and budget.

This independent approach allows us to recommend the right solution for each project rather than being limited to a specific fleet.
