Heavy Cargo Air Charter for Oversized Freight

The maximum weight depends on the aircraft, route, cargo dimensions, handling requirements, and whether the shipment uses a scheduled or non-scheduled charter. McMahon’s catalog identifies capacity of up to 30,000 pounds for U.S. non-scheduled charters and up to 200,000 pounds for global scheduled charters. Helicopter shipments are listed at up to 1,400 pounds per helicopter. The team confirms the appropriate option from shipment details.

McMahon evaluates oversized freight according to its dimensions, weight, loading method, route, and delivery requirements. The available fleet includes forklift-loadable options, industry-standard returnable containers and pallets, fixed-wing aircraft, and helicopters. Because aircraft selection is coordinated around the shipment rather than a fixed service package, the operations team can identify a suitable charter or combined air-and-ground solution.

Yes. McMahon offers turnkey, door-to-door air charter coordination, including ground delivery on each end of the shipment. The team can arrange aircraft, airport or FBO services, trucks, vans, handling equipment, and final delivery as required. This integrated approach gives business customers one operational contact instead of separately coordinating air freight and ground transportation.

In most scenarios, airports are optional for McMahon’s helicopter cargo service. Helicopters can support short and medium-range premium freight delivery and reach locations where airport access is limited. The operations team reviews the proposed pickup and delivery locations, cargo requirements, and mission details before confirming whether helicopter delivery is suitable.

The cargo charter service description identifies a 15-minute sourcing time for the operations team, while helicopter cargo information states that customers can contact the team 24/7 to set up a shipment. Actual launch and delivery timing depends on aircraft availability, shipment details, route, handling, weather, and other operational considerations. McMahon coordinates the most time-efficient available option.

McMahon coordinates multiple jet and turboprop options through air carrier partners and also operates a dedicated helicopter fleet for short and medium-range premium freight. Fixed-wing aircraft are suited to longer-range and larger shipments, while helicopters offer flexible delivery options and can be quickly reconfigured for cargo or passenger requirements when special missions call for it.
