Fast, Secure, On-Board Courier Solutions
Delivering urgent consignments with personal handling, direct flights, and global reach
Our on-board courier service provides secure, hand-carried international delivery for your most urgent and valuable shipments — when tomorrow is simply too late.
Whether it’s a prototype, time-critical document, or high-value item, our couriers travel alongside your consignment on the next available flight, ensuring it never leaves their care.
What Is an On-Board Courier Service?
An on-board courier service involves a dedicated courier personally carrying your consignment on the next available direct flight to its destination.
Your item travels alongside the courier — either as cabin baggage or checked luggage, depending on airline requirements — ensuring it remains under constant supervision and never leaves their care.
Why Choose On-Board Delivery?
Unlike traditional freight services where consignments are grouped together, on-board delivery provides a fully personal, secure, and closely monitored journey for urgent or sensitive items.
Service Specifics
- Suitable for consignments under 30kg that can be accommodated within airline cabin or baggage storage
- All items must comply with customs regulations to ensure smooth international transit — our team can assist if required
