Charter services

Charter is ideal when commercial flight schedules don’t meet your timeline, when you need faster transit than NFO can provide, when your shipment requires exclusive and dedicated transport, when guaranteed departure times are critical, or when the cargo demands maximum security and minimal handling. Charter solutions are also recommended for oversized, high-value, hazardous, or time-sensitive shipments, as well as deliveries to remote destinations not regularly served by scheduled cargo flights.

In many cases, a charter aircraft can be arranged within just a few hours, depending on aircraft availability, cargo specifications, airport permissions, and route requirements. For urgent AOG, medical, or critical supply chain shipments, rapid-response charter solutions can often be activated 24/7 with immediate operational coordination. More complex international or oversized cargo movements may require additional planning and permits.

Charter aircraft can accommodate a wide range of cargo sizes — from small urgent parcels to oversized industrial equipment and heavy machinery. Depending on the aircraft selected, charters can transport pallets, vehicles, oil & gas equipment, aerospace components, pharmaceuticals, or full project cargo weighing several tons. Aircraft options range from small turboprops and narrow-body freighters to large wide-body aircraft capable of handling outsized and heavyweight shipments.

Charter pricing is based on several operational factors, including aircraft type, cargo dimensions and weight, route distance, airport handling charges, fuel costs, crew requirements, landing permits, and schedule urgency. Additional considerations such as dangerous goods handling, special loading equipment, security requirements, and positioning flights may also impact the final cost. Each charter movement is customized to ensure the most efficient and cost-effective solution for the shipment.
