Urgent freight, flown on your schedule — not an airline’s
Hot shot air freight means your consignment gets its own chartered aircraft, flown straight from origin to destination. No waiting for a scheduled flight, no transfers through a busy cargo terminal, and no detour via the nearest commercial airport — we can land at the airstrip closest to where the freight is needed.
We load your freight from delivery to take-off in 30 minutes and can airfreight from Jandakot within an hour of confirmation, depending on aircraft availability. Departures run from Perth, Darwin and Melbourne, with freight flown across Australia and on to New Zealand, Southeast Asia and the USA.
