Frequently Asked Questions
What is an NFO and when should I use it instead of a charter?
NFO (Next Flight Out) books your cargo on the next available commercial flight, which is fast and cost-effective for most urgent shipments. A charter dedicates an entire aircraft to your cargo only — better when you need an exact departure time, have oversized freight, or a commercial flight isn't available on your route.
How much does OBC (On-Board Courier) hand-carry cost?
OBC pricing depends on the route, urgency and the courier's travel costs, so there isn't a flat rate we can quote in advance. Tell us your origin, destination and how soon you need it and we'll get you a firm quote fast, usually within the same business day.
How fast can you dispatch an urgent flight?
For NFO shipments, we can typically get cargo on a commercial flight within hours of your request, and OBC couriers can often depart the same day. Reach out with your details — origin, destination and cargo type — and we'll confirm the fastest option available for your shipment.
Do you operate on weekends?
Yes, our time-critical air logistics team is available 24/7/365, including weekends and holidays, because production emergencies and urgent shipments don't wait for regular business hours. You can reach our dispatch team any time via WhatsApp or phone to start a request and get a fast response.
What's the difference between NFO and a full charter?
NFO uses space on scheduled commercial flights, so it depends on existing flight availability. A charter is a dedicated aircraft booked just for your cargo, giving you full control over timing and capacity — the right choice when a commercial flight can't meet your deadline or your shipment is oversized.
Can OBC handle international, cross-border shipments?
Yes, our on-board couriers regularly hand-carry cargo across the Mexico-USA border and internationally, personally managing the shipment from pickup through customs to final delivery. This hands-on approach minimizes handling and significantly reduces the risk of delay, loss or damage compared to standard freight.
What size or weight can an on-board courier carry?
OBC is best suited for smaller, high-priority shipments that fit within standard airline carry-on or checked-baggage limits — think replacement parts, documents or samples, not pallets or crates. For larger urgent freight that exceeds those limits, NFO or a dedicated charter is typically the better fit.
