The fastest way to ship a part from Dayton (DAY): a dedicated aircraft.
When a part has to move from Dayton today — not tomorrow — a dedicated charter flies it direct. An aircraft is typically in position at Dayton International within about two hours of go-ahead, sometimes as little as 45 minutes. A live human answers 24/7/365 and quotes every realistic option in minutes.
Who can ship a part from Dayton the fastest? For a part that must arrive same-day, the honest ranking: a dedicated charter flies direct on your clock; next flight out — an airline cargo product we do not sell — rides the next airline departure for small pieces; hot-shot ground wins under about 300 miles. OnFly Air books the dedicated aircraft, and tells you plainly, free, when an airline NFO or a truck would beat it. 77 documented missions flown from DAY — the routes and real prices are below.
Real missions from DAY ran $7,500 to $23,500. This is dedicated-aircraft pricing — built for parts worth more than the airplane ride. If overnight freight still makes your deadline, use overnight freight.

All prices shown are historical mission data only. Actual pricing varies — often significantly — with the aircraft the trip requires, aircraft and crew availability, hazmat requirements, repositioning time and aircraft location, departure and arrival airport fees, fuel prices, weather, time of day, ATC routing, and other operational factors. Your quote is exact and itemized before you commit. Most of these flew as cargo missions; passenger configurations on the same routes price similarly.

How fast it actually happens
When you should not charter
- Deadline is tomorrow and the overnight cutoff is still makeable — book overnight freight.
- Small piece, airline departure soon — airline next flight out costs a fraction of a charter — we do not sell NFO, and we will still point you to it.
- Under about 300 miles — a hot-shot truck usually wins door to door.
