Charters are utilised for a number of reasons;

  • road linehaul or direct drive will be too slow
  • item is too heavy or too bulky for airfreight
  • no commercial flight services close enough to destination
  • destination is remote and difficult to service by standard road services
  • roads are flooded and impassable
  • Dangerous goods item that is classified as “Cargo Aircraft Only”

CASAIR Freight has been coordinating time critical, high consequence freight for decades so can provide solutions prompty, allowing your planning team to assess and decide on a course of action quickly.

We can include pick up and delivery, customs clearance and even repacking, if required.

Once the charter is booked we will keep you updated, confirming when the item is collected, received into the hangar, loaded on the aircraft, departed, arrived, handed over.  These updates are provided 24/7.

Direct drive
