Part-Charter

Part charter means you reserve a dedicated portion of a chartered aircraft's capacity, sharing the aircraft with other shippers. Each shipper controls their allocated space and benefits from charter-level service while splitting the aircraft's operational costs. You get guaranteed capacity, better handling, and schedule advantages without paying for an entire aircraft.

Commercial consolidation combines multiple shipments on scheduled airline cargo flights with fixed routes and timing. Part charter operates on dedicated charter flights with more flexible scheduling and routing, fewer handling touch points, and often access to specialised aircraft or airports unavailable through commercial channels. The service level sits between commercial freight and full charter.

Minimum volumes vary by route, aircraft type, and consolidation opportunity. Generally, shipments starting around 5,000 kgs or 20 pallets begin entering part charter territory, though smaller shipments may qualify when consolidated with others on opportune routings. CharterSync's platform identifies when your volume matches available opportunities.

CharterSync's platform continuously monitors available part charter capacity and matches it against forwarder requirements. When you input your shipment details, the system shows available part charter options alongside full charter and commercial alternatives. You can also set alerts for recurring routes where you'd like notification of shared capacity opportunities.
