Manufacturers and suppliers frequently need a special flight or aircraft to perform a vital delivery. This may require a one-time charter of an aircraft that will meet the requirements. Charter brokers & operators are available to companies that need these special facilities and it is their task to source the correct equipment in the right location on an ad-hoc basis.

Some airlines do not want to invest in their own assets and therefore lease an aircraft on a short/medium term, which might be several years, also called wet lease or ACMI (aircraft, crew, maintenance and insurance).

Some typical examples of charters are as follows:

• Seasonal deliveries such as new Beaujolais in November requiring large freighter aircraft for worldwide distribution.
• Launch of a new product which demands fast bulk supplies, EG a new mobile telephone.
• Transfer of a large animal for rehabilitation, e.g. an endangered species such as a rhinoceros.
• A consignment of heavy machinery for the construction of a power station or hospital.
• The transfer of an orchestra or art exhibition and equipment.

Some of the opportunities in this sector include:

• Sales to airlines and forwarders of ad-hoc capacity.
• Project management that includes special air lifting.
• Planning of routes.
• Purchase of right capacity at the right price.
