An On-Board Courier (OBC) service, also referred to as hand carry service, involves a person who hand-delivers shipments across commercial airlines, ensuring a secure and reliable chain of custody from pick-up to delivery. They are the unsung heroes of ensuring time-critical shipments get delivered anywhere, at any time. From manufacturing components to medical supplies, on-board couriers are relied upon to transport priority freight worldwide, helping businesses deliver their cargo quickly.

Our OBC solution is designed to accommodate a wide range of shipment sizes and types while ensuring full compliance with Transportation Security Administration (TSA) regulations, including:

– Sensitive documents

– Medical equipment

– Garment samples

– Production equipment

– Manufacturing parts and components

– Secure data

– Project cargo

For larger shipments that cannot be taken on-board but still need the speed and security of an OBC, we offer checked-as-luggage cargo solutions. Our team specializes in cargo repacking for large shipments, subject to TSA guidelines.
