Coventry logistics company offers bespoke cargo charter flights

LOGISTICS provider BDA (Bespoke Distribution Aviation) is offering a freighter charter aircraft that can be flown to any airport in Europe and North Africa.

Quotations are immediate and, subject to crew and aircraft availability, the aircraft can be launched within 90 minutes of the charter being confirmed.

Based at Frankfurt Main airport, the aircraft can be flown to any airport within range for loading.

The charter aircraft, a Shorts 360-300 type, has a maximum payload of 3,200kg and a volume capacity of 48m2 with a cruise speed of 390km/hr.

Steve Court, sales director at BDA, said: “We understand that local businesses regularly have to fulfill emergency orders outside of the normal scheduled flight times that we offer and by adding this bespoke chartered freighter we’re adding a more flexible approach to our operations for those with time-critical cargo.

“It’s our aim at BDA to offer the very best service to our customers and we hope that our charter aircraft capability can help us strengthen relationships with existing and new customers.”

BDA is also licensed to carry a range of dangerous goods on its charter aircraft, including chemicals, samples, shipments on dry ice, explosives and radioactive substances.

The firm, which operates from Coventry Airport, has eight gateway hubs for both air and road line haul routes across Europe.
