An On-Board Courier (OBC) is a dedicated courier who personally accompanies a time-critical shipment on a commercial flight. Also known as hand-carry delivery, the service keeps the consignment under direct supervision during transit, minimising handling and transfer points for fast, secure delivery of urgent, high-value or sensitive goods.
An On-Board Courier (OBC) shipment can often be collected and placed on the next suitable commercial flight within hours. Door-to-door delivery may be completed the same day or the following day on many routes, depending on collection time, flight availability, customs clearance and the final destination. Because a dedicated courier personally accompanies the shipment, delays caused by standard cargo handling and transfer processes are minimised.
An On-Board Courier can transport urgent, high-value, sensitive or irreplaceable goods that meet airline, customs and security requirements. Common OBC shipments include critical automotive and aerospace parts, electronics, prototypes, legal documents, production components, medical devices and approved medical samples. Acceptance depends on the shipment’s size, weight, packaging, dangerous-goods classification and any import or export restrictions.
An On-Board Courier shipment is monitored from collection through to final delivery using direct communication with the courier and the operations team. Customers can receive milestone updates at collection, airport check-in, boarding, departure, arrival, customs clearance and final handover, together with proof of delivery. Flight tracking and live location updates may also be available, depending on the service and route.
Before publishing, make sure the references to same-day delivery, medical samples, customs support and live location tracking accurately reflect the services your company provides.
If your shipment can’t wait, neither do we.
