Services
Cargo Charter Flights
Full-aircraft cargo charters across Africa, the Middle East and beyond — on demand, to your schedule, with Astral Aviation's operational expertise behind every flight.
Your Cargo, Your Schedule
Astral Aviation offers ad hoc and scheduled cargo charter services across Africa, the Middle East and select intercontinental routes. Whether you need a single aircraft for an emergency humanitarian lift or a series of flights for an ongoing project, our operations team will design the solution around your requirements.
With three Boeing freighter types available — from the narrowbody 737-400F to the widebody 767-300F — we can match aircraft capability to your cargo type, volume and route. We operate to virtually any airport in the region, including strips inaccessible to larger aircraft.
All charters are operated under Astral's KCAA AOC, with full insurance, crew, ground handling and applicable permits arranged as part of the service.
