Air charter and air freight

Cargo that will not wait for a sailing. Main-deck loading and restraint at origin, and the airside handover at Port Harcourt.

Air charter and air freight — what we do

  • Two widebody aircraft parked on a wet apron at Port Harcourt International Airport, with the control tower behind and ground crew in high-visibility vests.
    Port Harcourt International — the airside apron where our air freight consignments are received and released.
  • A forklift carrying a large timber case marked HAMIX 136 up a ramp into the open nose door of a cargo aircraft.
    Loading a cased consignment through the nose door of a freighter. Main-deck loading is what makes oversized air cargo possible at all.
  • A blue flatbed truck loaded with palletised cargo on the airport apron, with three men in discussion in the foreground and the control tower behind.
    Airside transfer between aircraft and truck, under airport supervision.
  • A heavy-lift freighter aircraft with its nose door raised, cargo and timber cases on the apron in front of it, and handlers in orange high-visibility vests working alongside.
    A heavy-lift charter with the nose door raised. Cargo that will not fit a scheduled service goes this way.
  • A heavy-lift cargo aircraft with its nose door open on the apron, a forklift and truck working alongside it, and other aircraft parked beyond.
    Charter loading in progress at Port Harcourt.
  • A truck carrying a large timber case on the apron of an airport, photographed from the front.
    A cased consignment leaving the airport under our control.
  • A mobile crane lifting long wrapped tubing bundles on a red pallet beside a cargo aircraft, on a wet apron under grey cloud.
    Origin loading for an air charter to Nigeria — long tubing bundles going onto the main deck. February 2024.
  • A long wrapped tubing bundle strapped to a red pallet inside the main deck of a cargo aircraft, with a handler in a high-visibility jacket alongside.
    The same bundle netted and locked to the main-deck rails.
  • Wrapped tubing bundles on pallets at an airport cargo loading dock, waiting to be transferred to the aircraft.
    Staged at the freight terminal before transfer to the aircraft.
  • Two large timber cable reels and a wrapped tubing bundle netted onto pallets inside the main deck of a freighter aircraft.
    Cable reels and tubing sharing a main deck — mixed oversized cargo on a single charter.
  • Loadmasters in high-visibility jackets checking the netting over two large cable reels secured inside a cargo aircraft.
    Restraint checked before the doors close. On a charter, load planning is the job.
  • The empty roller-bed floor of a cargo aircraft main deck, looking out through the open door towards the loading dock.
    The roller floor a charter is planned around.
  • A timber case and a wrapped cylindrical item lashed with pink and black webbing to the roller floor inside the main deck of a cargo aircraft.
    Lashing to the main-deck rails. Cargo that shifts in transit is cargo that arrives damaged.
  • Two long steel pipe sections slung on blue strops being lifted above timber cradles on an airport apron, with aircraft pallet dollies and a ground-support forklift behind and a banksman below.
    Pipe sections lifted onto cradles.
