Just-In-Time Automotive Air Charter

Just-in-time automotive air charter is an expedited freight solution for production-critical parts that cannot move through standard transportation quickly enough. McMahon evaluates the shipment specifications and targeted protect time, then coordinates the fastest available aircraft and ground transportation option. Depending on the route and cargo, the solution may use helicopters, jets, turboprops, vans, trucks, or specialized ground handling equipment.

McMahon supports one-off emergency shipments as well as extended campaigns for suppliers that are behind schedule. The operations team evaluates the urgency, shipment requirements, route, and delivery needs to determine an efficient charter and ground logistics plan.
