Express Freight Charter and Air

Express freight charter and air service provides customized aircraft and logistics coordination for shipments that cannot rely on standard freight schedules. McMahon evaluates the shipment specifications and targeted protect time, then coordinates an appropriate air charter option with ground delivery. Solutions may include dedicated helicopters, jets, or turboprop aircraft, depending on the shipment and route.

McMahon’s catalog identifies a 15-minute sourcing time for applicable cargo charter services and a 15-minute launch time for the helicopter fleet service. Actual aircraft selection, loading, routing, and delivery arrangements depend on the shipment specifications and operational requirements. Customers can contact the team 24/7 to begin coordination.

Operational feasibility is evaluated for each shipment and destination.
