Military charter is called on more often than most people imagine.
It is usually needed when a specialist aircraft is required, demand arrives suddenly or plans change at short notice. We arrange military charters round the clock, supporting troop and equipment movements for different nations, including vehicles and dangerous goods.
We also supply charters into remote airports and challenging locations to support military exercises and operations, with complete discretion. Aircraft used in military service count as state aircraft and need diplomatic clearance state to state, which takes days rather than hours. We establish which regime your flight sits in before we quote.

Yes. Aircraft used in military service count as state aircraft and need diplomatic clearance state to state, through foreign ministries rather than a civil permit through an aviation authority. That takes days rather than hours, so we establish which regime your flight sits in before we quote.
Yes. We supply charters into remote airports and challenging locations to support military exercises and operations, with complete discretion. We confirm before contracting that the receiving airport has the handling and fuel to turn the aircraft round.

Before contracting, Fliteline verifies the operator's Air Operator Certificate and its operations specifications, its insurance certificates, and the airworthiness documentation for the specific aircraft. An AOC is scope limited, so we also confirm it covers the route you are actually buying.
