{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DefinedTerm","name":"Charter flight","description":"A charter flight enters the picture when scheduled airline capacity is unavailable, too small, or ill-timed for a shipment's requirements. The charterer—typically a freight forwarder, shipper, or broker—leases an entire aircraft or a defined block of cargo space and negotiates routing, departure time, and price directly with the carrier or a charter broker. Although charter flights command a significant premium over scheduled services, they offer unmatched flexibility in timing and routing.
