The Do’s and Don’ts of Chartering an Aircraft for Time-Critical Freight

To assist you in staying prepared and preventing typical delays, here are our crucial dos and don’ts for chartering an aircraft for urgent freight:


When time is of the essence, every decision matters, whether it’s sensitive cargo, urgent freight, or mission-critical materials. Advent Jets specializes in time-critical aviation solutions that deliver on your schedule, on your terms.

DO: Provide Clear, Detailed Information Early

The more accurate and complete the information you give us, the faster we can mobilize. Include:

  • Exact pickup and delivery locations

  • Cargo dimensions and weight

  • Special handling needs or deadlines


Don’t assume the nearest major airport is your best option — busy hubs can lead to delays and higher fees.


Advent Jets can identify alternative, cargo-optimized airports that expedite the process and save money.


DON’T: Guess on Specs or Weights

Inaccurate dimensions or weight estimates can ground a mission before it starts.


If a crate doesn’t fit or is overweight, last-minute adjustments could cause costly delays or cancellations.


Precision helps us match your shipment to the right aircraft — the first time.


DO: Maintain Ongoing Communication

Transparency is key in time-critical freight. Our operations team stays in touch every step of the way, ensuring you're informed and empowered to communicate with your client or team as needed.


DON’T: Assume Charter Is the Only Solution

While aircraft charter is often the fastest option, it’s not always the most efficient. Depending on the freight and timeline, Next Flight Out (NFO) or On-Board Courier (OBC) may better serve your mission and your budget.


Planning multiple urgent shipments? Let us coordinate all of them for maximum efficiency.


DO: Work with a Partner Who Offers Transparent Terms

Not all brokers are created equal.


At Advent Jets, we’re committed to transparent, upfront pricing with no hidden fees — ever. You deserve a partner who respects your time, your business, and your trust.


DON’T: Overlook Credit Options for Urgent Flights

Time-critical logistics don’t always follow traditional billing timelines. We offer flexible financial solutions for trusted partners because when time is short, waiting on paperwork isn’t an option.


DO: Leverage a Broker — Not Just an Operator

  • We monitor every available aircraft.

  • We advocate on your behalf.f

Final Thoughts: Trust the Process. Trust Advent Jets.

When you're managing urgent logistics, you don’t just need a jet — you need a partner who understands pressure, urgency, and execution.
