Air cargo charter refers to the hiring of an entire aircraft or a portion of it for the transportation of cargo. This service is typically utilized when standard commercial airline services are not suitable or available for transporting specific types of cargo, or when there’s a need for expedited delivery. Air cargo charter can be arranged for various purposes, including transporting oversized cargo, perishable goods, hazardous materials, urgent shipments, humanitarian aid, or high-value items.

Chartering an aircraft provides flexibility in terms of scheduling, route selection, and cargo handling procedures, allowing companies to tailor the service to their specific needs. It’s often used by industries such as logistics, oil and gas, automotive, pharmaceuticals, and relief organizations. Air cargo charter companies offer a range of aircraft options, from small turboprops to large freighter jets, to accommodate different cargo requirements and destination locations.
