Why these guides

What actually decides a cargo, private jet or team charter, explained

Every charter comes down to the same few decisions before anyone quotes a price: what the load weighs and measures, how many people are travelling, which airport the aircraft can use, and how much schedule flexibility you can allow. Get those right and the quote follows easily.

These guides answer the questions we get asked most as a broker: how air cargo charter works from first call to wheels up, which small freighters suit which job, what private jet hire really costs per hour in the UK, how sports teams move a squad on a shifting fixture list, and how relief flights reach damaged or congested airports.

Fliteline holds no aircraft of its own, so we have no fleet to fill and no reason to steer you towards one type over another.
