Cargo Charter Wellington: Freighter, AOG and Time-Critical via WLG

Wellington International supports ad-hoc regional cargo charter and AOG response on a routine basis. Aviall arranges full-aircraft cargo charter from WLG using whichever freighter fits the shipment and the runway, regional 737F and ATR-72F for short NZ and Pacific sectors, with widebody and outsize movements coordinated via alternate gateways such as Auckland or Christchurch where aircraft size and weather make that the better answer.

Each mission is run door-to-door: aircraft options inside the hour, written quote with a wheels-up window, and a single point of accountability covering airside handling, customs, permits and inland transport at both ends.

Charter cargo demand from WLG is driven by AOG events for trans-Tasman operators routing through the capital, time-critical government and corporate freight, and project shipments that scheduled carriers cannot move on the required window.

• AOG and aerospace component recovery for operators based at or routing through WLG
• Time-critical government, manufacturing and pharma shipments out of the capital
• Trans-Tasman regional freight between Wellington and Australian gateways
• Dangerous goods shipments scheduled carriers will not accept
• Humanitarian and disaster-relief lift staging through alternate NZ gateways
• Live-animal, secure-cargo and high-value movements with single-shipper aircraft

Aircraft is sized to the shipment, the runway and weather, and the wheels-up window. The most commonly used tiers from Wellington are:

• Strip-capable turboprop (ATR-72F), short-strip and inter-island sectors
• Regional freighter (737F): 20-25 t, intra-NZ, trans-Tasman and short Pacific sectors
• Mid widebody (A300F, 767F), coordinated via alternate gateways where required
• Heavy widebody and outsize (777F, 747F, IL-76, AN-124), coordinated via Auckland or Christchurch where required

Aviall holds full IATA Dangerous Goods capability across the commonly carried classes including Class 9 lithium batteries, and arranges the appropriate ground equipment, customs and permits for outsize cargo via WLG and alternate NZ gateways.
