An Onboard Courier (OBC) moves small packages and documents on scheduled passenger flights - 24/7, 365 days a year. 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 statuses/baggage allowances. They are carefully selected professionals with customs know-how, who are able to ensure secure and a smooth transportation of extremely urgent and sensitive smaller goods.
OBC consignments may be smaller consignments 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.
Dangerous goods are not 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. Thanks to our experience and good relationships with airlines and airports, decisions can be made quickly and efficiently.
