Cargo charters involve the rental or leasing of an entire aircraft or a specific portion of its cargo space to transport goods. This method of air freight is often used for shipments that are too large, heavy, time-sensitive, or delicate to be accommodated by regular commercial airfreight services.
Cargo charters offer a high degree of flexibility in terms of scheduling and routing. The charterer can choose departure and arrival times, as well as the flight route, based on their specific requirements.
Cargo charters can provide direct, non-stop flights from the departure point to the destination, eliminating the need for multiple stops or transshipment.
Charter brokers act as intermediaries between the charterer and the aircraft operator. They help match the charterer's requirements with available aircraft, negotiate terms, and ensure a smooth process.
