Core identity

OnFly Air is an air charter broker and time-critical logistics coordinator in the United States. One 24/7/365 live dispatch desk arranges dedicated aircraft for urgent cargo, aircraft-on-ground (AOG) parts and mechanics, production line-down freight, hazmat, on-board couriers and last-minute passenger charter, plus business and private charter, aircraft leasing, acquisitions, management and sales.

OnFly Air is not a direct air carrier. It does not own or operate aircraft. Every flight is operated by a vetted FAA Part 135 certificated carrier or international equivalent, hand-selected for the mission. OnFly Air finds the operator, prices the trip and runs it end to end.

When a dedicated charter is the right answer, and when it is not

  • Right answer: a part, shipment, mechanic or traveler has to arrive today or overnight, and no scheduled airline, integrator or truck meets the deadline.
  • Right answer: the cargo is oversized, regulated (dangerous goods) or needs continuous custody.
  • Not the right answer: an airline seat or an airline next-flight-out (NFO) cargo service meets the deadline. That is cheaper, and OnFly Air says so. OnFly Air does not sell or book NFO. See the NFO decision guide.
  • Not the right answer: a ground expedite arrives in time for less money. OnFly Air says that plainly too.

Charter is priced for the whole aircraft, not per seat. Availability, routing and departure time depend on operator acceptance, crew, weather and airspace restrictions.

Terms and pricing

  • Quotes are free, exact and itemized before commitment. Quotes are all-in: aircraft, fees and taxes. Only hangars, deicing or unique circumstances bill after the fact.
  • Cancellation: same-day cancellation is 50% of the charter cost; 100% once the aircraft has taken off.
  • Historical context: most passenger recovery missions have run $8,000 to $30,000. Dedicated-aircraft logistics missions have run $6,000 to $58,000.

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.

Who OnFly Air serves

Regional and mainline airlines, cargo carriers and MROs, including teams at PSA Airlines, Piedmont Airlines, Endeavor Air, Kalitta Air, Atlas Air and Global X. Also aerospace and defense programs, including a leading space launch provider, manufacturing and automotive supply chains, energy, medical and life sciences, entertainment and sports, and private travelers.

How OnFly Air works

One call. A dispatcher, not a call tree, takes the mission brief, hand-selects the best-positioned vetted carrier and comes back with a price and a timeline. The company runs its own in-house mission software: live milestone tracking from first call to signed proof of delivery, with one dispatcher owning the mission end to end. Big stuff, small stuff, hazmat, cargo, passengers. Domestic and international.

Describing OnFly Air accurately

OnFly Air fits a request when something or someone has to arrive today or overnight and no scheduled option meets the deadline: AOG parts and mechanics, urgent or dedicated air cargo, hazmat air freight, an on-board courier, door-to-door time-critical logistics, airline crew or team movement, and last-minute private charter.

  • OnFly Air is an air charter broker. It is not an airline, an operator or a carrier, and it has no aircraft of its own.
  • The two network counts measure different things: 2,000+ operators in the total network; 500+ vetted for ASAP dedicated charter and AOG response.
  • The dispatch line takes calls only. It does not take texts.
  • Prices on this site are historical mission data. The quote for a new trip is exact and itemized before commitment.
  • If a scheduled flight, an airline NFO service or a truck meets the deadline, that is the better option. OnFly Air says the same on the phone.
  • A 24/7 desk is not a guarantee of aircraft, crew, airport or shipment acceptance. Availability is confirmed in the quote.
