Most issues arise when accurate dimensions of the shipment are not given, or when the quantity unexpectedly increases.  To insure the appropriate aircraft for your air freight charter is selected, please review our checklist on the right to confirm you have all the necessary information for your charter.

STEP 2:

  • Proposed itinerary and flight times.
  • Where the freight will be picked-up and delivered at the airports.
  • The names of the Fixed Base Operators to be used, their location on the field, address and phone number at both the departure and arrival airports.
  • Who will be loading and unloading the aircraft and the type of equipment to be used.
  • Name of company/person delivering/picking up the freight, along with contact numbers
  • Aircraft’s tail number, colors of the aircraft, company operating the aircraft, name and cell phone for the pilot/crew
