Ad Hoc Charter refers to a type of charter agreement where an aircraft is chartered for a specific flight or series of flights, rather than being under a long-term or ongoing contract.
Ad Hoc Charter refers to a type of charter agreement where an aircraft is chartered for a specific flight or series of flights, rather than being under a long-term or ongoing contract. This type of agreement is typically used to meet sudden or unexpected demand for air cargo services, or to transport large or specialized cargo that cannot be accommodated by regular scheduled flights. Ad hoc charters can be more expensive than other types of charter agreements due to the shorter notice and increased risk for the carrier.
