Los Angeles Air Charter

A Los Angeles air charter for cargo is a whole aircraft booked for one shipper's freight, flying from the Los Angeles area on the shipper's schedule and carrying nothing else. It suits freight that is too large or heavy for scheduled flights, a deadline no scheduled flight can meet, or a destination with a smaller airport. Trucks bring the freight to the aircraft and deliver it at the other end. Sharing complete details when booking helps avoid delays. A provider can confirm what is possible for a specific shipment.

Freight gets to the aircraft in Los Angeles by truck. A van or truck collects it from the shipper and drives it to the airport in time for the charter's departure. Because the region is large and traffic is heavy, the pickup is timed with room to spare, and choosing an airport close to the pickup can save significant time on the drive.
