Definition & Explanation
Air cargo chartering enables shippers and logistics providers to lease aircraft capacity for urgent or high-value shipments outside scheduled airline routes. Unlike scheduled airfreight, charter operations offer maximum flexibility in routing, timing, and handling – freight forwarders employ this service for emergencies, large single consignments, or exotic routes when scheduled flights are unavailable or too slow.
