International Freight Forwarding
Charter flights for general cargo are increasingly favored by shippers and logistics companies. Pengsou Logistics, keeping pace with industry trends, has established itself in the general cargo charter sector through professional services and extensive experience.
Chartered air freight for general cargo refers to the practice where cargo owners or logistics companies lease entire aircraft to transport standard goods. The term "standard goods" here has a clear definition: it specifically excludes hazardous materials, frozen/refrigerated items, prohibited items, counterfeit goods, and sensitive cargo. Charter transportation comes in two forms: full cargo charter flights and belly cargo charter flights, which are particularly suitable for bulk general cargo transportation. Compared to regular flights, charter services are not constrained by flight schedules, offering more flexible delivery times that can meet diverse transportation needs of clients.
Pengsou Logistics Company's chartered air freight service for general cargo encompasses a rigorous professional workflow. The process begins with charter demand confirmation, where our expert team collaborates with clients to gather detailed specifications including cargo quantity, dimensions, and transportation timelines. This is followed by contract signing to clearly define mutual rights and obligations. During cargo preparation and loading, we strictly adhere to regulatory standards to ensure safety. Customs clearance and security checks are conducted with meticulous attention to detail, guaranteeing full compliance with national regulations. After successful aircraft transportation, customs clearance, unloading, and delivery are seamlessly integrated into a cohesive process, delivering end-to-end logistics solutions tailored to client needs.
Compared to bulk air freight, Pengsou Logistics' chartered flight services demonstrate distinct advantages. The flexibility of transportation stands out as a key feature, allowing clients to schedule deliveries according to their needs and receive customized solutions. For oversized or special cargo, chartered flights offer unparalleled efficiency with no need for mid-journey transfers, significantly reducing transit time and operational risks. However, this service comes with drawbacks including high costs—requiring full aircraft rental fees—and potential operational challenges such as flight authorization and route approvals. Additionally, it is not suitable for small-batch shipments.
