FAQ
How much does cargo charter cost from Dubai?
There is no fixed tariff. Cost depends on aircraft category, positioning, route, cargo weight and dimensions, loading equipment, permits, handling, crew duty and timing. MEGA quotes each request after the shipment details are reviewed with suitable operators.
How fast can a freighter be arranged?
Short-notice options may be possible, but timing depends on aircraft position, crew duty, route approvals, airport slots, handler acceptance and the cargo documentation. The desk first checks what can legally and operationally depart, then confirms the realistic schedule.
Can you carry dangerous goods?
Dangerous goods can only move when the operating carrier, crew, routing and documentation are approved for the declared commodity. Share the UN number, class, packing group and safety data sheet at the start so acceptance can be checked before quoting.
What information do you need for an air cargo charter quote?
Send the origin and destination, shipment weight, dimensions, piece count, commodity, packing, dangerous goods status, ready time, deadline and any lifting, temperature, security or customs needs. Photos and packing lists help the operator confirm loading.
When is charter better than scheduled air cargo?
A dedicated charter is considered when scheduled capacity cannot meet the deadline, the cargo is too large or sensitive, the routing is unusual, the shipment needs direct control, or delay would cost more than arranging dedicated capacity.
Do you handle customs?
MEGA coordinates with appointed handlers, brokers and the client’s logistics team, but customs clearance remains subject to the documents, commodity, origin, destination and local authority requirements. Legal and customs responsibility is confirmed case by case.
Which Dubai airport is best for cargo charter?
DXB and DWC are both reviewed. The better airport depends on cargo location, aircraft type, handler availability, slot and parking position, customs requirements and road access. AUH and SHJ can also be considered for UAE missions.
Can you move small urgent shipments?
Yes. Small urgent shipments may move by light aircraft, cargo jet, turboprop or on-board courier depending on route, size, value and deadline. The desk will advise whether a dedicated aircraft is justified or another urgent option is more suitable.
