Charter flights. When a scheduled flight is not enough.
For goods that scheduled flights will not accept, for oversized loads and for urgent cargo we arrange full or shared cargo charters, with permits and documents handled by us.
An aircraft for your goods.
IATA rules forbid some dangerous goods on many flights, including several Class 1 articles. Some may travel only on cargo aircraft, others only with an exemption from the civil aviation authorities of the countries involved, in Italy ENAC. With a charter we choose aircraft, airports and times around the goods.
Firearms and ammunition
Firearms, ammunition and military materials that cannot travel on scheduled flights, in compliance with the industry's authorisations.
Goods forbidden on scheduled flights
Explosives and other dangerous goods allowed only on cargo aircraft or with an exemption: we check feasibility first.
Exemptions and permits
We prepare the exemption requests and the overflight and landing permits needed, with the competent authorities.
Oversized loads
Machinery, components and heavy loads that do not fit in the hold or on standard air pallets.
Urgent cargo
When a delay costs more than the flight: departure at the time that suits you, not the airline schedule.
Escort and security
Transfer to the airport with our escort service for goods that require it, and operational support at the aircraft.

Questions about charter flights.
When is a charter flight needed?
When the goods are not accepted on scheduled flights, when size or weight exceed scheduled aircraft limits, or when time does not allow waiting. We start from the shipment data and tell you whether a charter is the right solution.
Can ammunition travel on a scheduled flight?
Only some. Division 1.4S ammunition is accepted on passenger aircraft too, with packaging and labels compliant with the IATA DGR; the other Class 1 divisions are generally forbidden on passenger flights and often on cargo flights too, unless exempted.
Who grants exemptions for forbidden goods?
The civil aviation authorities of the countries involved in the flight: origin, destination and, where required, transit and overflight. In Italy it is ENAC. We prepare the requests with the goods' documents.
Does a charter have to be a whole aircraft?
Not always. We also look at space on dedicated cargo flights or shared charters, when the goods and the rules allow it.
