Oxford has seen regular air courier, air freight and air cargo services over many years. Larger aircraft types that have visited Oxford in the past and could utilise the airfield today include the HS748, Dash 7/8, DC-3, ATR-42/72, Shorts Skyvan/330/360 and BAe 146 amongst several others. A significant advantage to Oxford is the ability to offer overnight services on demand with no opening hour limitations.
Post and parcel services along with emergency freight of urgent documents, components etc. are routinely undertaken.
AirMed
AirMed, the resident freight operator, offer an air cargo service throughout Europe, flying urgent freight up to 15ookg. With the relaxtion of the EC rules, freight can be freely sent with the minimum of paperwork and without any delays associated with shipping agents and forwarders at major airfields. The aircraft is dedicated to your goods and the timetable is completely flexible to suit your needs.
In July 2007 AirMed became approved as a charter carrier under The Pet Travel Scheme. After working closely with Defra and SkyPets of Biggin Hill, AirMed is now able to offer this service to its clients who have expressed the desire to take their pets, who are part of the Pet Passport Travel Scheme, abroad with them.
AirMed has chosen popular destinations in France, Germany and Spain as approved routes back into the SkyPets clearance facilities at London’s Biggin Hill airport, with the intention to add further destinations across Europe on request.
