The transportation of cargo by an aircraft specifically hired for that purpose is referred to as 'Freight Air Charter.’ This method is frequently chosen in case of particularly high value shipments or when a shipper has inflexible time and routing requirements that can not be met with scheduled services. Compared to other ways of shipping, with freight air charter, the shipper sets almost all of the parameters including the ground time, route, and type of aircraft. For instance, businesses that need to quickly relocate specialized equipment to remote areas can utilize freight air charter. However, it is still rather flexible with regard to real-time changes. This option is more adjustible than commercial air freight one, because requirements can be changed on the spot. Regardless, it is still the most costly option compared to other alternative air freight options since the aircraft is fully dedicated to the shipment.
