Air Cargo Green Capabilities (ACGC) organizes humanitarian aid air freight for NGOs, relief organizations, government agencies, contractors and suppliers responding to emergencies and humanitarian operations.
The service covers urgent movement of relief cargo by scheduled air freight or dedicated aircraft, depending on shipment volume, destination, available capacity and required deployment time.
For missions requiring full aircraft capacity, routing outside regular schedules or large volumes of relief supplies, we can arrange a dedicated cargo charter.
Our Expertise in Humanitarian Airlift Operations
Humanitarian air transport often operates under conditions that differ from routine commercial freight. The destination airport may have limited handling capacity, schedules can change quickly, permits may be required at short notice and relief cargo may combine several commodity types within one operation.
When the shipment is highly time-sensitive, the operation can also be coordinated through our time-critical cargo solutions.
Before confirming the airlift, we assess:
- origin and destination airports;
- required delivery window;
- cargo type and priority;
- number of pieces, weight and dimensions;
- airport runway and handling restrictions;
- aircraft capacity;
- loading requirements;
- customs and transit documentation;
- first-mile and onward delivery requirements.
Humanitarian Cargo We Transport
Humanitarian aid air cargo can include:
Humanitarian Airlift Solutions
A dedicated aircraft can provide additional capacity and control over departure timing for urgent, high-volume or operationally complex missions.
Our cargo charter service includes aircraft assessment, routing and operational coordination.
Humanitarian shipments may require commercial or pro forma documentation, packing lists, permits, certificates and customs procedures depending on the cargo and destination.
Dedicated customs clearance support can be included where required.
Relief shipments containing dangerous goods, batteries, medical products or temperature-sensitive commodities are checked according to their specific transport requirements.
Declared hazardous cargo is handled separately through our Dangerous Goods Air Freight service.
Humanitarian Operations and Aid Organizations
ACGC has experience supporting humanitarian projects involving international aid organizations, including UNICEF and the Red Cross.
The operational scope can differ from one mission to another. Some projects require a few urgent pallets on scheduled capacity, while others involve full aircraft loads, multiple rotations or cargo moving into destinations with limited airport infrastructure.
For this reason, the transport plan is built around the actual mission requirements, aircraft availability and destination conditions rather than a fixed standard routing.

A charter is considered when a relief shipment requires dedicated capacity, carries a large payload, includes cargo that does not fit scheduled services or must depart within a specific operational window.
Typical shipments include medical supplies, emergency shelters, food relief, sanitation equipment, generators, communications equipment and other emergency-response cargo.
Routes to remote destinations can be considered, but feasibility depends on runway characteristics, airport status, ground handling capability, permits, aircraft type and local operating conditions.
Medical cargo is reviewed according to its required transport conditions. Products requiring pharmaceutical or temperature-controlled handling are managed under the relevant pharma logistics procedures.
Yes, some relief operations include regulated items such as batteries, fuel-related equipment or other hazardous materials. They must be declared in advance and accepted under the applicable dangerous goods air freight procedures.
