Air Freight
El Paso TX

That turns on the freight, the destination and the time of day. With next flight out, a driver hands the shipment in at the ELP cargo counter and it rides the first scheduled departure with space. A charter takes off when its crew and aircraft are set and the freight is aboard, often the better answer late at night or for a small airport at the other end. You get the real options on the call.

Las Cruces is about 45 miles, an hour by road. Albuquerque is around 265 miles, about four hours, and Tucson around 320. In the air, a Dassault Falcon 20 at close to 530 mph and 2,000 miles of range turns most of the U.S. into a same-day delivery.

Almost any load. A Cessna 406 Caravan II takes about 3,085 lbs, a DC-9 15F 22,930 lbs and a Boeing 767-200F 92,500 lbs. At the top, a Boeing 747-400F carries 274,000 lbs; it needs about 10,500 ft to take off, and ELP's longest runway is 12,020 ft.

For boxed parts and spares, scheduled air freight is usually enough. Big loads, odd hours and places with thin airline service call for a charter. Small, critical pieces such as prototypes, test parts and medical devices go best by hand carry, since the courier never lets go of them.

Airlines charge on whichever is higher: the actual weight or a dimensional weight worked out from the box's length, width and height. Light, bulky freight such as plastic housings or packed harnesses can bill above its real weight, so measure each piece packed before you call.

We pick up across El Paso County, including downtown, the east side, Socorro, Horizon City, Canutillo and Fabens, and in New Mexico at Santa Teresa, Sunland Park and Las Cruces. Freight flies from El Paso International, and charters can also use the Doña Ana County jetport or Las Cruces International.

Yes, with notice. Secure sites usually want driver names and vehicle details in advance, and an airline cargo counter will ask for the air waybill number, the document it uses to find a shipment. Charters load at the FBO on the field. Tell us the site rules and the contact when you book.

Every day, holidays included. Off-hours bring fewer scheduled departures and sometimes crews called in, so the price can rise, and the quote tells you before you book.

Where the freight is and where it goes, how many pieces, each one's packed weight and size, what it is and the deadline. Add forklift or liftgate needs, and tell us if the pickup is by the bridges or at a guarded site. Phone (956) 391-1700 or send the form.

Often, for short hops and heavy freight. With airport drives at both ends added in, a load for Las Cruces, Santa Teresa or Albuquerque tends to arrive just as soon on a dedicated urgent truck. Freight without a deadline is cheaper still by LTL or full truckload.

Harnesses, sensors and mold inserts for border plants, electronics and circuit boards, test parts for Fort Bliss programs, aircraft parts, medical devices and refinery instruments. They share a high value for their weight and a high cost if late.

Yes. We also arrange air freight from Midland, Odessa, San Antonio, Dallas, Houston and Lubbock, among other Texas cities. An El Paso pickup can deliver anywhere in the continental U.S.

Usually a lot. We can send a hand carry courier to collect it where it is held and finish the trip by air, or rebook it on the first departure from that city. Have the tracking number and the deadline ready.
