If are a
manufacturer that
has regular
shipments that need
to get across the
country in a hurry,
of if you are a one
time shipper that
needs to send
priority cargo by
air, you can find
the perfect air
cargo charter
service that will
handle the job.
Most small priority
packages can
normally be sent via
Fedex, Purolator or
UPS.
However if you have
a container load or
you need to ship
cargo to a remote
destination not
serviced by
traditional courier
services, then a
dedicated air
charter cargo flight
may be your only
option.
Before requesting an
air charter cargo
quote you will need
to know the total
weight of your
shipment, the
overall size
including length,
width and depth.
You will also need
to determine if the
shipment is
classified as
dangerous goods.
Also, most cargo
charter companies
will have fork lifts
and other equipment
to assist in loading
heavy pieces, but
you will need to
know what equipment
is available on the
other end to assist
in off loading if
the cargo is
exceptionally heavy
or bulky.
If you are shipping
Internationally, you
will need to have
all customs paper
work completed ahead
of time and
determine if your
destination airport
is an airport of
entry for
international
flights. If
not, your charter
flight will need to
stop en route for
customs clearance
and this will add to
your costs. |
