An Onboard Courier (OBC) moves small packages and documents on scheduled passenger flights — 365/24/7. It is one of the fastest modes of cargo transportation and is also known as hand carry. We have been offering OBC services since 2007.
Air Partner works with a global network of couriers with a variety of visas and high frequent-flyer status/baggage allowances. They are carefully selected professionals with customs know-how, to ensure security and a smooth transport for extremely urgent and sensitive smaller goods.
We can offer OBC solutions with any mode, door-door or airport-airport.
OBC consignments can be any smaller consignment that a courier or numerous couriers can transport on a passenger flight as hand luggage or checked in luggage. We also arrange couriers to fly with shipments on private jets.
No dangerous goods are permitted, but common commodities can be automotive components, aerospace parts, confidential documents, electronics, fashion items, or medical samples. Cooling equipment can also be provided for temperature sensitive shipments. High value items are not suitable for OBC due to insurance constraints.
We deliver a quote within 20 minutes after your request — 24/7, 365 days per year to ensure the delivery process starts as soon as possible. Due to our experience and good relations with airlines and airports, decisions can be made quickly and efficiently.
