Request charter assessment through suitable operators or brokers using full cargo dimensions, payload, routing, readiness and handling requirements.
Assess dedicated uplift against a specific cargo need.
When scheduled services do not match a time-sensitive or unusual shipment, Sheffield can coordinate a charter enquiry with appropriate operators or brokers. Suitability depends on payload, aircraft dimensions, route, airport handling and confirmed availability.
A charter proposal requires a full cargo profile and a realistic delivery requirement. Airport permissions, loading equipment and operating conditions are reviewed by the parties responsible for the flight. No aircraft ownership or guaranteed charter availability is represented.

Assess the aircraft requirement from the cargo profile
A charter enquiry needs more than a total tonnage. Sheffield reviews the largest pieces, loading dimensions, total weight, handling requirements, departure airport and destination deadline before seeking a suitable operator proposal.
Confirm how cargo reaches the aircraft and who arranges destination unloading and collection. Airport capability, aircraft availability and permits influence feasibility. A charter enquiry is assessed individually; a quotation or expression of interest does not confirm an aircraft until the accepted booking and operator conditions are in place.
Documents and instructions to prepare
Share the available records for review. Product-specific approvals and final requirements are confirmed for the actual shipment.
- Piece-by-piece dimensions and gross weights
- Photographs, lifting points and loading instructions
- Cargo-ready airport and requested departure window
- Destination handling contact and unloading plan
- Commodity, permits and special-cargo declarations
A clear execution plan
- Define uplift requirement
- Refer to suitable operators
- Review aircraft and handling fit
- Confirm commercial terms
- Coordinate ground handovers
Confirm the handover, not just the freight rate.
Origin collection, cargo acceptance, clearance and final delivery work best when each party knows the agreed scope, required documents and receiving instructions.
Questions about this service
Why are the largest-piece dimensions important?
Cargo must fit the proposed aircraft’s loading access and available space. Total weight alone does not determine whether an aircraft can carry the consignment.
Is destination handling included with the aircraft?
Only where specified. Ask the proposal to identify positioning, loading, airport handling, unloading and onward delivery responsibilities.
Tell us what needs to move.
Our team will review the cargo and coordinate a proposal for the confirmed service requirements.
