What is an Air Freight Charter?
An air freight charter is a private, dedicated aircraft booked exclusively for your cargo. Unlike scheduled airline freight, charter flights operate entirely on your timetable, to your chosen destinations, with no shared cargo and no intermediate stops unless required for refuelling.
This makes air freight charter the fastest and most flexible solution for time-critical, high-value, or complex shipments where delays are not an option.
Typical uses include:
- AOG (Aircraft on Ground) – Urgent aviation parts to get aircraft flying again.
- Medical & Humanitarian Relief – Critical aid delivered to disaster or remote locations.
- High-Value Goods – Jewellery, electronics, pharmaceuticals, and sensitive cargo.
- Industrial & Energy – Urgent components for oil rigs, factories, or power stations.

Case Study – Urgent Oil & Gas Component to Offshore Rig
A critical piece of drilling equipment was urgently required on an offshore oil platform in the Gulf of Mexico.
Qube Cargo arranged a dedicated cargo aircraft from the manufacturer in Norway to Houston, followed by a helicopter charter directly to the offshore rig, ensuring seamless final-mile delivery.
The entire operation was completed within 36 hours of the initial request, preventing costly downtime and keeping operations running.
