    Cargo charter from Perth, door-to-door

    Perth is the cargo gateway for Western Australia and the Indian Ocean rim. Aviall arranges freighter charter from Perth Airport (PER/YPPH), with smaller, time-critical movements out of Jandakot (JAD/YPJT) and direct operations into mining and station strips across the Pilbara, Kimberley and Goldfields.

    Aircraft are sourced against the shipment, rather than fitting the job to whatever is available. Regional 737F for short-haul WA work, A330F or 777F for intercontinental general cargo, 747F for nose-loaded long pieces, and AN-124 or IL-76 for genuine outsize project moves into mining, energy, defence and infrastructure sites.

    What we move out of Perth

    Perth cargo charter demand is dominated by the resources sector and Western Australia's role as the Australian gateway to the Indian Ocean rim.

    • Mining and energy spares and equipment into remote Pilbara, Kimberley, Goldfields and Mid West sites
    • Outsize project pieces requiring nose-loading or AN-124 ramp loading
    • Dangerous goods under full IATA DG protocols, lithium, fuels, oxidisers and Class 1
    • AOG and aerospace component recovery for operators based across WA
    • Time-critical industrial and infrastructure freight where downtime cost outweighs charter cost
    • Defence and government cargo movements with prior coordination

    Heavy lift · Project cargo

    Outsize mining component into a remote regional strip

    An ASX-listed resources operator faced a stalled processing line waiting on a single oversized component too large for any scheduled freighter. Aviall sourced an outsize main-deck nose-loader, completed pavement and load-spread checks at the regional destination, and coordinated road movement permits at both ends.

    Outcome

    Component on site inside 72 hours of first call; production line restart same week.

    AOG · Time critical

    Replacement engine to a wide-body grounded overseas

    A major carrier had a wide-body grounded at a foreign hub, awaiting a replacement engine sitting in a domestic MRO. Aviall positioned a freighter to the MRO, coordinated dangerous goods documentation for the engine and stand, and held a flight-following bridge with the airline's tech ops cell door-to-door.

    Outcome

    Engine wheels-up inside 14 hours of release; aircraft returned to service the next operational day.

    Pharma · Cool chain

    Temperature-controlled biologics on a single-shipper aircraft

    A global health programme required a high-value biologics consignment moved on a controlled cool-chain into the Asia-Pacific without consolidation risk. Aviall chartered a freighter dedicated to the shipment, with active containers, written ramp-time targets, and continuous data-logger oversight.

    Outcome

    Zero temperature excursions; chain-of-custody documentation closed within 24 hours of landing.

    Why operators, brokers and end clients keep calling back

    Credibility built on operational discipline, not marketing

    "Quote came back inside the hour with two aircraft options, written wheels-up windows and the cost-versus-time trade-off laid out. That is what we expect and rarely get."

    , Project logistics manager · Resources sector

    "Documentation, NOTOCs and DG paperwork were closed before we'd finished briefing our customer. No back-and-forth, no surprises at the ramp."

    , Senior freight forwarder · Global 3PL

    "They run the mission like an operator, not like a broker. That distinction matters when the cargo is heavy, the route is hard and the clock is real."
