Air Charter

Get a better deal on air charters.

For most air freight shipments the scheduled airlines passenger or freighter flights are ideal, but sometimes you will not be able to find a scheduled flight that meets your needs. Time to consider chartering? Maybe, with the range of aircraft on offer they can often be a cost effective option.

With so many aircraft types available how do you decide which is the right one for you. There are 2 main considerations range (can the aircraft travel the distance you require without too many stops) and capacity (is the aircraft large enough to take the cargo that you are sending). The below list gives an overview of the aircraft types available. It is not exhaustive, so it is always best to check if you think that chartering may be an option for you.
