SERVICES OVERVIEW
Logistics for the Logisticians: Expedited Air & Ground Services for 3PL Providers
Logistics is essential for success in any industry, but it has become so complex in recent years that many businesses have given up trying to handle it internally. Instead, they leave it to the professionals, contracting with third-party logistics (3PL) businesses to take care of the transportation, warehousing, and broader supply chain management. 3PL businesses benefit from greater specialization, direct experience, and the ability to invest in a large enough number of logistics resources to benefit from economies of scale.
Ironically, these businesses deal with logistical mishaps beyond what their existing infrastructure can handle. 3PL companies have been expanding resources to cope with this new demand, but in the meantime, it can be difficult to stay ahead of their obligations. In this situation, expedited freight providers become essential.
Complex Timelines
It’s not uncommon for a 3PL provider to have hundreds of trucks on the road or planes in the air at any given time, with each vehicle having complex timelines for delivering, handing off, or storing the items they’re carrying. Such a complex operation is inevitable if you want to do business on a large scale for a variety of customers, each with unique delivery needs. But the more complicated it gets, the more layered successful operations become.
Advanced Tech
AirFreight.com’s resources and advanced technology allow us to replace parts throughout your 3PL chain quickly, should they go missing or become delayed. Because our vehicles are spread so widely across North America, we can easily identify a truck close to the location of your items and dispatch it to pick those items up. Once we have the items, we’ll get right on the road toward their destination, and will use our centralized tracking and planning infrastructure to make sure it stays on the fastest, most reliable route.
Scheduled and Charter Flights
If the destination in question is an airport, we’ll either get it there in time for its flight or, if the flight has already left, schedule space for it on another flight to its final destination. If scheduled flights are limited, we can charter a new flight specifically for your items. One way or another, we’ll complete the delivery and make sure that a momentary lapse in your system never gets out of hand.

Air Cargo
Air cargo refers to freight transported via aircraft to meet fast or time-sensitive delivery requirements. For 3PLs, air cargo supports customers who need rapid replenishment, emergency parts, or expedited B2B deliveries. This includes express air cargo, air cargo freight, and dedicated air cargo airlines when speed is critical. Air cargo allows 3PL providers to manage tight service commitments and maintain reliability across multi-node supply chains.
Same Day Air
Same day air is a premium expedited service where freight is transported on the next available flight to ensure delivery within hours. 3PL providers rely on same day air to resolve production delays, inventory shortages, and last-minute customer requests. When ground options are too slow, same day air ensures urgent shipments move without delay, making it a vital offering for high-pressure industries.
Air Freight Services
Air freight services include scheduled, express, and expedited transportation via commercial or cargo aircraft. 3PLs use air freight services to maintain flexible delivery windows, reduce lead times, and support national and international distribution. This includes air freight shipping, air freight service providers, air freight delivery services, and air freight/delivery services that adapt to diverse customer demands.
Air Cargo Charter
Air cargo charter services involve reserving an entire aircraft exclusively for a customer’s freight. This solution benefits 3PLs managing oversized cargo, high-value goods, or urgent shipments that cannot rely on scheduled airline capacity. Air cargo charter provides guaranteed lift, priority handling, and direct routing, enabling 3PLs to meet strict delivery deadlines and complex logistics requirements.
Air Freight Charter
Air freight charter services offer dedicated aircraft solutions tailored to time-critical logistics. For 3PLs, charters are ideal when commercial flights lack availability or when freight needs exact departure and arrival times. These services support industries like aerospace, automotive, energy, and manufacturing where downtime is costly and precise timing is essential.
Next Flight Out Shipping
Next flight out (NFO) shipping is one of the fastest shipping options available, using immediate placement on the next commercial flight. 3PL providers depend on NFO to offer rapid response services for urgent parts, medical shipments, and high-priority inventory transfers. NFO helps maintain customer expectations when delays are not acceptable.
Expedited Freight
Expedited freight ensures priority handling and the fastest possible transit time using air or ground modes. For 3PLs, expedited freight services solve supply chain emergencies by bypassing standard shipping constraints. This includes same day air, express trucking, and air cargo charter for shipments that must arrive without delay.
Hot Shot Trucking
Hot shot trucking provides time-critical ground transportation using dedicated vehicles. When paired with air freight, hot shot trucking offers 3PLs seamless airport-to-door operations. This service supports urgent freight transfers, mission-critical parts delivery, and pre-flight or post-flight transport for same day shipments.
Air Freight Logistics
Air freight logistics encompasses planning, routing, scheduling, and coordinating air shipments. 3PLs rely on these capabilities to streamline distribution, reduce downtime, and optimize transit speed. Strong air freight logistics partners help 3PLs scale operations rapidly while maintaining service quality.
Air Freight Quote
An air freight quote provides estimated pricing based on weight, dimensions, distance, and required service levels. For 3PL providers, quick access to accurate quotes is essential when customers need real-time cost visibility for expedited shipments, air charter requirements, or express air cargo.
Express Air Shipping
Express air shipping accelerates freight movement with prioritized handling and fast transit times. 3PLs use express air shipping for clients that require urgent delivery, tight production schedules, or rapid replenishment for just-in-time workflows. This service reduces lead times and ensures freight arrives as quickly as possible.
Dedicated Single Point of Contact
When 3PL providers partner with AirFreight.com, they gain direct access to a centralized air freight support team that manages every step of the shipping process. For detailed status updates or changes, your single point of contact is always ready to assist.

Frequently Asked Questions
What air freight services does AirFreight.com offer for 3PL providers?
AirFreight.com offers a full range of expedited air freight shipping services tailored for 3PL providers, including same day air, next flight out, overnight air freight, air freight charter service, and express air cargo. These services are supported by a nationwide network capable of handling shipments of all sizes, from small parcels to large palletized freight. Our solutions also include access to air cargo airlines and air freight service providers that specialize in time-critical logistics, helping 3PLs meet demanding customer expectations.
For 3PLs managing diverse supply chains, these services extend beyond simple transport. They include customized routing, dedicated coordination, secure handling, and flexible capacity designed to adapt to shifting volumes. By integrating both air and ground capabilities, AirFreight.com gives 3PLs a competitive advantage when offering high-speed, high-reliability delivery options for urgent shipments.
How can same day air shipping support 3PL operations?
Same day air shipping enables 3PL providers to deliver mission-critical freight within hours, offering a rapid solution when production delays, inventory shortages, or urgent customer requirements arise. This service uses express air cargo and next flight out options to minimize downtime and ensure fast replenishment. For 3PLs working with industries that require immediate transport—such as medical, manufacturing, automotive, and aerospace—same day air is an essential capability.
Beyond speed, same day air allows 3PLs to maintain operational stability by offering customers reliable emergency shipping solutions. It reduces the risk of supply chain disruptions, helps maintain service-level agreements, and supports just-in-time inventory systems. The ability to move freight quickly strengthens a 3PL’s value proposition and enhances customer trust during high-pressure situations.
When should a 3PL use an air cargo charter?
Air cargo charter services are ideal when freight is too large, too sensitive, or too urgent for scheduled air freight options. For 3PL providers managing time-critical shipments, charters deliver unparalleled control, including the ability to select departure times, routes, and aircraft types. This makes air cargo charter services especially effective for oversized machinery, high-value goods, or critical components needed to avoid costly operational delays.
In addition, air cargo charters provide guaranteed lift capacity, eliminating the unpredictability of commercial airline schedules. 3PLs benefit from dedicated aircraft availability, direct routing to reduce transit time, and secure handling for sensitive shipments. These capabilities are essential when working with customers in the aerospace industry, energy sector, automotive manufacturing, and other time-sensitive markets.
Do you provide real-time tracking for 3PL shipments?
AirFreight.com provides real-time tracking across all air freight and air cargo services, giving 3PL providers full visibility into every stage of transit. Shipment data includes location updates, estimated arrival times, and proof-of-delivery confirmations. This transparency is crucial for both expedited air shipping and overnight air freight, allowing 3PLs to maintain tight service commitments and communicate quickly with their customers.
Real-time tracking also helps 3PLs improve operational planning and reduce delays. With continuous monitoring, logistics teams can anticipate issues, adjust routing when necessary, and maintain high performance for express air cargo services. This level of visibility is essential for modern supply chain operations that rely on accuracy, efficiency, and proactive communication.
What industries benefit most from 3PL air freight solutions?
Industries that experience frequent supply chain pressures—such as automotive, aerospace, medical, energy, electronics, and industrial manufacturing—rely heavily on expedited air freight services. These sectors often require rapid delivery of components, replacement parts, or sensitive materials, making same day air and next flight out shipping critical to their operations. For these businesses, delays can halt production or disrupt essential services.
3PLs serving these industries benefit from fast, predictable, and secure air freight logistics. AirFreight.com’s ability to provide express air shipping, air cargo charter services, and dedicated ground support helps 3PLs maintain service-level agreements and deliver precise timing. This reliability enhances customer satisfaction and builds long-term trust in competitive markets.
What is next flight out shipping?
Next flight out (NFO) shipping is one of the fastest shipping options available, using the next departing commercial flight to transport freight. This service minimizes delays by bypassing normal scheduling limitations and moving cargo with maximum urgency. For 3PL providers managing time-sensitive shipments, NFO ensures rapid handling and the shortest possible transit timelines.
NFO supports 3PL operations by providing flexibility during supply chain emergencies and last-minute customer demands. It is ideal for industries where timing is essential, such as aerospace component transport, critical medical shipments, and emergency production support. Combined with real-time tracking, NFO allows 3PLs to maintain service precision even under tight deadlines.
Do you offer ground support for air shipments?
AirFreight.com integrates expedited ground transportation with air freight services to provide end-to-end logistics solutions for 3PLs. This includes hot shot trucking, airport-to-door delivery, and dedicated vehicles for urgent shipments requiring precise timing. Ground support bridges the gap between airports, distribution centers, and customer facilities.
By combining ground and air capabilities, 3PL providers can offer seamless door-to-door delivery for urgent freight. This integration also ensures consistent service quality, reduces transit delays, and improves accuracy for time-sensitive air freight shipping services. The result is a faster, more reliable logistics experience for 3PL customers.
How does AirFreight.com support 3PLs during supply chain disruptions?
AirFreight.com provides rapid-response logistics solutions when supply chains face disruptions, delays, or unexpected obstacles. Our team quickly assesses alternative routes, sources available aircraft, and coordinates expedited freight services to maintain delivery schedules. These services are essential during manufacturing shutdowns, inventory shortages, or urgent production requirements.
For 3PLs, this level of adaptability helps maintain service commitments and prevent customer dissatisfaction. When disruptions occur, having access to air cargo charter services, same day air shipping, and express air cargo enables 3PLs to restore normal operations quickly. This resilience strengthens overall supply chain performance.
What types of freight qualify for air charter services?
Air charter services accommodate freight that is oversized, urgent, sensitive, or operationally critical. This includes heavy machinery, aircraft components, medical equipment, hazardous materials, and temperature-controlled goods. Air cargo charter companies handle freight that cannot move safely or quickly through commercial airline channels.
For 3PL providers, air charter services are essential for managing specialized logistics scenarios. These services ensure secure handling, tailored aircraft selection, and precise timing, helping 3PLs offer advanced logistics solutions to customers with complex shipping needs.
