F.A.Q.
What is the difference between OBC and NFO?
With NFO, your shipment travels as cargo in the belly of a commercial aircraft. With On-Board Courier (OBC), a dedicated courier personally accompanies and monitors the shipment throughout the journey, carrying it in the aircraft cabin whenever possible. OBC provides the highest level of oversight, security, and chain of custody — making it the preferred solution for highly sensitive, confidential, critical, or irreplaceable shipments that cannot risk delays or standard cargo handling.
What size shipments can OBC handle?
OBC is best suited for small to medium-sized, high-priority shipments that can travel safely within airline cabin baggage limitations. Typical OBC shipments include aerospace parts, semiconductors, medical devices, pharmaceuticals, legal documents, prototypes, and other critical components. Shipment size and weight capacity depend on airline regulations, route restrictions, and cabin baggage allowances.
How quickly can you dispatch a courier?
Couriers can often be dispatched within hours of confirmation, depending on flight availability, destination, and visa or customs requirements. Dedicated OBC teams operate 24/7 to respond to urgent requests and coordinate the fastest possible routing to minimize transit time and ensure continuous shipment supervision from pickup to final delivery.
Are your couriers TSA-approved?
Yes. Professional OBC providers work with trained and security-compliant couriers who follow TSA, airline, airport, and international aviation security regulations. Couriers are experienced in handling sensitive and time-critical shipments while maintaining strict chain-of-custody procedures and compliance with all applicable transport requirements.
Can OBC handle international shipments?
Yes. OBC services regularly support international and cross-border shipments worldwide. The service includes coordination of customs clearance, travel documentation, security procedures, and real-time shipment monitoring to ensure smooth and secure international delivery. OBC is commonly used for urgent global movements where speed, visibility, and direct supervision are essential.
