A cargo aircraft charter provides a dedicated aircraft for one shipment, giving the customer greater control over capacity, routing and departure times.
It is commonly used when scheduled air freight cannot meet the required deadline, route or cargo dimensions.
Scanlon Freight coordinates the aircraft, permits, ground handling, loading and final delivery as one controlled operation.
An urgent aircraft charter can often be arranged within hours, subject to aircraft availability, airport operating times, permits and route approvals.
To begin sourcing an aircraft, the charter specialist will require the cargo dimensions, weight, collection point, destination and required delivery time.
Scanlon Freight provides 24/7 support for urgent and time-critical charter enquiries.
Aircraft charter services can transport AOG components, aircraft engines, industrial machinery, production materials, pharmaceuticals, high-value technology and oversized or out-of-gauge cargo.
The aircraft is selected according to the shipment’s dimensions, weight, handling requirements, route and deadline, with options ranging from small cargo aircraft to B747 freighters and AN-124 heavy-lift aircraft.
The cost of a cargo aircraft charter depends on the aircraft type, route, flight time, positioning requirements, airport charges, permits, ground handling and specialist loading equipment.
There is no fixed charter rate because every operation is different. Providing accurate cargo dimensions, weight, route and deadline enables Scanlon Freight to identify the most suitable and cost-effective aircraft solution.
Send us your cargo dimensions, weight, route and required delivery time.
We’ll source the right aircraft and manage the operation from collection through to final delivery.
