Air Charter Service Introduction – ELOGIS Group

Hello!

We are ELOGIS Group, a leading logistics solution partner in the Middle East and Asia.

As we move past the weekend, the air has turned noticeably colder and the layers of clothing have surely gotten thicker.
We hope you are staying warm and taking care of your health during this crisp autumn season.

Today, we would like to introduce Air Charter services.

What Is an Air Charter?

An Air Charter is a widely used concept in international logistics and urgent transportation.
It refers to leasing (chartering) an aircraft—either the entire plane or part of its cargo/seat capacity—for the transportation of specific cargo or passengers.

Based on customer requirements, the whole aircraft or designated cargo space can be rented, operating on a custom schedule independent of regular flights.

Air charter service is not bound by standard airline schedules or pricing.
Instead, a shipper or freight forwarder leases full or partial capacity to operate a non-scheduled flight on their desired date and route.

In other words, rather than matching cargo to an airline’s timetable, an air charter builds a new timetable around the urgency and conditions of the shipment.

Types of Air Charters

Air charters are typically categorized into three types:

1. Full Charter

The shipper exclusively uses the entire aircraft capacity.

2. Split Charter

Multiple shippers share the cost by jointly leasing an aircraft on the same route and schedule.

3. ACMI Charter

Also known as a wet-lease, ACMI includes:

Aircraft
Crew
Maintenance
Insurance

This model secures the aircraft for a certain period and is often used during high-demand seasons.
It sits between a one-off charter and a mid- to long-term lease.

Conversely, Dry Lease (aircraft-only lease) requires the operator to independently manage flight approvals, crew, and maintenance.
Therefore, it is not typically used by general shippers.

When Is Air Charter Used?

Air charters are chosen most often in these situations:

Time-critical cargo, such as emergency parts, semiconductors, and pharmaceuticals needed to prevent production line shutdowns.
Oversized, heavy, or hazardous cargo that cannot be loaded onto regular passenger belly space or scheduled freighters.
Routes without direct scheduled flights, or poor connection options that lead to long lead times.

Additionally, charters become valuable alternatives during peak seasons, strikes, natural disasters, or whenever regular flight space becomes insufficient.

Benefits of Air Charter

Air charters offer clear advantages:

Fully customized departure/arrival times and routing
Dramatically reduced lead time
Entire cargo loaded on one aircraft, minimizing risks of loss, damage, or delays related to split shipments and transshipments
End-to-end quality control with tailored ground handling, security checks, and special handling for sensitive or dangerous goods

However, charter pricing can fluctuate significantly due to factors such as aircraft type, flight time, positioning flights, international flight permits, slot availability, ground handling, and security costs.
During peak seasons, aircraft availability can be the biggest challenge.

Key Considerations for Charter Planning

Unlike regular cargo transport, charter contracts often include charter-party style clauses, and accuracy in the planning phase is crucial.

Pre-charter preparation typically includes:

On-site surveys
Crane/trailer accessibility checks
Airport security review
Handling route simulation

To receive faster and more accurate quotations, it is essential to provide detailed information early, such as:

Exact dimensions and weight
Packaging photos and drawings
Temperature/impact limits
Dangerous goods documentation
Desired schedule, flexibilities, and restrictions
Delivery method and customs details
Availability of loading/unloading equipment at site

With proper preparation, air charter—despite its higher cost—can become the most reliable solution when time is money.

If you have any questions regarding air charter services,
please contact us via email or send us a quotation request.

Thank you always for your support.

We hope you’ll continue taking steps toward positive change—and we’d love to be part of that journey with you.

Today, we’d like to share some insights on ocean freight logistics procedures and the freight forwarding process.

Better communication often begins with a better understanding of each other's roles and responsibilities.

At Elogis Group, we are a dedicated International Freight Forwarder, providing total logistics solutions for importers and exporters, and maximizing synergy through trusted partnerships.

🌊 Ocean Freight Export Process Overview

1. Export Contract & Order Confirmation

Once a trade contract is signed between the exporter and importer, the order for the goods is finalized.

2. Production & Preparation

The exporter manufactures the goods according to the order and prepares them for shipment.

3. Selection of Freight Forwarder

The exporter selects a forwarding company and entrusts them with ocean transportation.
At this stage, transportation terms, costs, and schedules are discussed.
The forwarder manages the full transportation plan—selecting optimal routes and modes of transport, and coordinating efficient shipping schedules.

4. Preparation of Shipping Documents

The freight forwarder books the vessel based on the required shipping schedule.
Suitable vessel and container options are chosen based on the cargo’s size, weight, and nature.

5. Export Declaration

The exporter submits the necessary export declaration to customs.
When this task is delegated to a forwarder, they handle document preparation and filing, and ensure compliance with customs requirements.
Typical documents include the Bill of Lading (B/L), Commercial Invoice, and Packing List.

6. Cargo Packing & Pickup

Once ready for export, the forwarder arranges pickup of the goods.
Professional packaging services are engaged—such as box packing or wooden crating—tailored to the cargo specifications.

7. Cargo Loading

The forwarder coordinates vessel booking, container arrangements, and cargo loading.
All related shipping documents (e.g., B/L) are prepared and finalized.

8. Shipping & Tracking

During transit, the forwarder monitors the cargo’s location and condition, and maintains communication with the client to ensure smooth delivery.

9. Arrival & Customs Clearance

Upon arrival at the destination port, the local partner forwarder receives the shipment and prepares for import customs clearance.
The importer or local forwarder handles the customs procedures in accordance with local regulations.

10. Delivery & Final Handover

Once customs clearance is completed, the goods are delivered via inland transport to the importer’s address, completing the logistics process.

✅ Summary of Steps:

Export contract & order confirmation

🔍 Important Considerations

Throughout the process, various issues may arise.
That’s why a professional freight forwarder evaluates shipping options—whether by sea, air, or rail—to align with the exporter’s schedule.
Documentation, costs, and timelines may vary depending on the situation.

Once schedules are confirmed, relevant departments proceed with bookings and customs filings.

Many shippers entrust both forwarding and customs clearance to the forwarder, who assists with document preparation and coordinates with customs brokers for export/import declarations.
