How does the Onboard Courier service by private jet work?

The principle of this service is simple: a courier, called an “Onboard Courier” or “Airmate”, travels on a private jet with the package in their carry-on baggage to hand-deliver it to the recipient upon arrival. The courier accompanies the shipment throughout its journey, avoiding the risks of loss, theft or delayed delivery.

This service is particularly used by:

Who are the airmates?

 

Who are the airmates?

Airmates, also known as “onboard couriers,” are professional couriers who accompany packages (goods, products, etc.) transported by the premium Onboard Courier service, especially during urgent flights on private jets.

 

Profile of airmates:

 

Airmates are usually independent workers or employees of logistics companies specializing in emergency delivery. They are selected for their availability and ability to transport a package safely and discreetly.

They have the necessary qualifications to travel internationally, such as:

  • Valid passports
  • Visas if necessary
  • Knowledge of customs and security procedures applicable in each country.

 

Role of airmates in the Onboard Courier service:

 

The role of couriers is to transport the shipment in their carry-on baggage. They ensure the security of the package and the delivery.

These premium couriers are also responsible for communicating with the client. They provide updates on the status of the shipment and answer any questions.

 

How much does the Onboard Courier service cost?

 

Inevitably, the cost of an Onboard Courier service is higher than traditional delivery methods, such as classic air freight. However, it is still difficult to accurately evaluate because it depends on many factors.

Among these factors, we find:

  • The distance to travel
  • The size and weight of the shipment
  • The desired delivery time

The exact price of the premium Onboard Courier service will therefore depend on the specific needs of each client and the travel itinerary.

It is the quality of the tailor-made service of the Onboard Courier that explains the costs incurred. The rapid delivery of critical or high-value packages justifies the price of this premium service.
