Air Cargo Charter Flights
Air cargo charter flights can use small, fast private jet aircraft at
short notice to carry urgent packages or aircraft spares weighing a few kilos,
or a giant Antonov 124 transport aircraft to carry 100 tonnes or more of freight
across the world. And cover a whole range of aircraft types and air cargo
charter services in between!

For smaller items most
air taxi and
private jet aircraft
types can be used, but larger loads need specialised
cargo aircraft types such as this Ilyushin 76, which can carry up to 45 tonnes over intercontinental
distances. Our contacts enable us to locate the most cost-effective freighter aircraft for your air cargo charter flight requirements.

Air cargo aircraft are used frequently for disaster relief and humanitarian flights, to carry
hazardous or dangerous material plus large and particularly heavy items, such as
oil equipment and excavators. These large loads are regularly carried on Antonov
124 aircraft, which have a particularly long and wide freight hold, and can be
loaded through the hinged nose.

Some
aircraft types (such as the Antonov 12 or
Antonov 26) can use rough and unprepared airstrips, making them ideal for
humanitarian relief flights and air cargo charter flights into more remote areas of the
world. |
