Aircraft Charter
On-demand aircraft charter from an owned and dedicated fleet. No brokers. No availability windows. One call, one aircraft, one commitment.
StrataCritical operates an owned and dedicated fleet of charter aircraft under FAA Part 135 certification — giving you direct access to a confirmed aircraft, not a promise to find one. Whether you’re moving a time-critical medical payload, a clinical trial shipment, or urgent industrial freight, we match the right aircraft to your mission and guarantee wheels-up when you need it.

Dedicated aircraft. On your schedule.
When speed and certainty are non-negotiable, an aircraft charter reserves an entire aircraft exclusively for your shipment. Unlike commercial freight, which moves on fixed airline schedules and competes for belly space, a charter flight departs when your cargo is ready — from the airport closest to your origin, routed directly to your destination.
Charter is the right solution when:
The StrataCritical difference is structural: because we own our aircraft rather than broker access to third-party operators, we don’t have to check availability — we have it. When you call, we quote against our fleet, not a marketplace.
A broker can call around. We can actually commit.
Most charter providers are intermediaries. When you call, they contact a network of operators to find one willing to accept your booking. That process introduces time, uncertainty, and a chain of handoffs that starts before your cargo even moves.
StrataCritical is a FAA Part 135 certificated air carrier operating its own aircraft, employing its own crews, and maintaining its own standards. The aircraft we quote is the aircraft that flies — operated under our certificate, governed by our SOPs, and accountable to us from dispatch to delivery.
What this means for your shipment:
Purpose-configured.
Owned and dedicated.
