Four Transport Modes. One Chain of Custody.
Chartered Aircraft
When commercial schedules are inadequate and delay is not an option, Strata Critical’s owned aircraft fleet provides exclusive, on-demand airlift with no dependence on third-party availability. We maintain dedicated aircraft capable of serving both domestic and cross-border missions within North America, sourced, crewed, and dispatched entirely within our control. Because we own our core fleet, we can commit to departure windows that brokers and charter networks simply cannot guarantee. For missions requiring temperature control, oversized payloads, or restricted handling, our charter capability is configured and flown to your exact requirements.

Expedited Ground Transportation
StrataCritical’s owned ground fleet operates as the direct-drive backbone of our time-critical network, available at any hour, dispatched with a single call. Sprinter vans, straight trucks, and specialty vehicles are staffed by employed drivers who carry company credentials, follow StrataCritical protocols, and communicate directly with our operations center in real time. When speed matters at the surface level, airport-to-facility, facility-to-airfield, or point-to-point across a region, our own vehicles ensure capacity is never subject to carrier availability or brokerage delays. Our fleet functions as the seamless backstop to every air operation we execute.

Handcarry / On-Board Courier
Some shipments require a human hand on them from origin to final destination, no exceptions, no transfers, no assumptions. Strata Critical’s hand carry service deploys experienced couriers who travel with your shipment as personal carry-on baggage or supervised cargo, maintaining full physical control and an unbroken chain of custody at every gate, customs checkpoint, and transfer point. Our couriers are trained in documentation management, temperature monitoring, regulatory compliance, and emergency re-routing, enabling them to act decisively when schedules change. This service is routinely executed nationwide, including cross-border moves where knowledge of customs procedures is critical to on-time clearance.

Next Flight Out (NFO)
When speed is paramount but exclusive charter is not required, Strata Critical’s Next Flight Out (NFO) service leverages our airline relationships and real-time booking intelligence to get your shipment aboard the fastest available commercial or cargo flight, often within the hour. Our specialists continuously monitor departure schedules, capacity, and routing options across a network of nationwide carriers, selecting not just the next flight, but the optimal flight given your delivery window. NFO is backed by Strata Critical’s owned ground assets for airport pickup and delivery, ensuring the critical first and last mile never becomes the weak link.
Radiopharmeceutical Air Charter
We own the aircraft. You own the timeline.
Most logistics providers broker capacity on third-party carriers — fine when a shipment can wait, unworkable when half-life is measured in hours. Strata Critical operates an owned and dedicated fleet, purpose-configured for radioactive materials and carrying DOT Special Permit status for Class 7 transport. One call to our dispatch team triggers the full chain, with chain-of-custody maintained plane-side from production to delivery.

Most logistics providers broker capacity, they rely on third-party carriers who may or may not be available when you call. Strata Critical’s Chartered Aircraft and Expedited Ground Transportation services are backstopped by our own fleet. That means when you engage us, we are not quoting availability from a network we don’t control, we are committing the capacity of assets we own, maintain, and dispatch. In the most time-sensitive moments, that distinction is everything.
