Logistics

When It Has to Fly, and It Has to Fly Now.

Air cargo charters for outsize, time-critical, defense, and government cargo — the aircraft sourced, the operator vetted, the permits in hand, and the movement supervised from acceptance to proof of delivery.

Air Cargo Charters

Full and part charters on freighter aircraft, sourced and vetted for the load, the lane, and the destination.

AOG & Time-Critical

On-demand aircraft and hand-carry for parts, equipment, and consignments that cannot wait.

Outsize, Project & Defense Cargo

Heavy, oversize, hazardous, and export-controlled cargo moved with the engineering and the paperwork done right.

Government & Humanitarian Airlift

Charter support for government programs, FMS deliveries, and humanitarian and disaster-relief movements.

01

Air Cargo Charters

When scheduled freight cannot carry it, or cannot carry it in time, SSG sources the aircraft. We match the cargo to the right airframe and operator, negotiate the charter, and manage the movement from acceptance to proof of delivery — including the permits, handling, and documentation the lane requires.

  • Freighter sourcing across narrow-body, wide-body, and outsize airframes
  • Operator vetting: certification, insurance, safety record, and sanctions screening
  • Charter negotiation and contract terms
  • Overflight and landing permits, slots, and ground handling
  • Load planning, ULD build, and on-site supervision
02

AOG & Time-Critical

A grounded aircraft, a stalled production line, or a program deadline measured in hours needs an answer in minutes. SSG runs time-critical movements on dedicated aircraft and courier hand-carry, with a single point of contact from the first call to delivery.

  • Aircraft-on-ground parts and engine movements
  • On-board courier and hand-carry service
  • Door-to-door with customs pre-clearance
  • 24/7 operations desk and live tracking
  • Contingency routing when a lane closes
03

Outsize, Project & Defense Cargo

Rotor blades, radar arrays, vehicles, and satellites do not fit on a pallet. SSG plans outsize and project cargo movements on the airframes built for them, and — because the Defense practice sits down the hall — makes sure the export authorization, end-user documentation, and dangerous-goods declarations are in hand before wheels-up.

  • An-124, IL-76, and B747F outsize charters
  • Lift planning, cribbing, and securing engineering
  • Dangerous goods (IATA DGR) classification and documentation
  • ITAR/EAR authorization alignment for defense articles
  • Multimodal first- and last-mile coordination
04

Government & Humanitarian Airlift

Government and allied-nation movements come with their own requirements — diplomatic clearances, military airfields, austere destinations, and chains of custody that must survive an audit. SSG supports agency, FMS, and relief airlift with operators and procedures suited to those conditions.

  • FMS and DCS delivery charters to partner nations
  • Diplomatic and military airfield clearances
  • Austere and limited-infrastructure destinations
  • Humanitarian and disaster-relief surge capacity
  • Chain-of-custody documentation and reporting
How a Charter Runs

From the first call to the signed delivery receipt.

One point of contact, one file. Every movement follows the same sequence so nothing is discovered at the loading ramp.

  1. 01Request

    Cargo, dimensions, origin, destination, and the deadline. We respond with options within hours.

  2. 02Source & vet

    Aircraft and operator matched to the load and lane; certification, insurance, and sanctions checks completed.

  3. 03Permit & plan

    Overflight, landing, and diplomatic clearances; load plan; dangerous goods and export documents confirmed.

  4. 04Execute

    On-site supervision at loading, live tracking in flight, handling and customs at destination.

  5. 05Close

    Proof of delivery, chain-of-custody record, and the file an auditor or a program office will ask for.

Defense articles fly on paper first. A charter carrying ITAR- or EAR-controlled cargo is an export. SSG confirms the authorization, end-user documentation, and dangerous-goods declarations before the aircraft is contracted — the Defense practice and the Logistics practice are the same firm.
