Why fly it
When it can't wait and can't be lost
Some shipments are too urgent, too valuable or too irreplaceable for a carrier network. Bluebird books a whole aircraft for them and flies straight to an airport near its destination, so your package changes hands twice: when you drop it off and when it's picked up.
- Dedicated aircraft
- The airplane flies for your shipment alone. No other freight, no sorting, no transfers.
- Same day
- Leave when your package is ready, not when a scheduled cargo flight does.
- Straight there
- We fly direct to an airport near where your package is going, with no hub or connection in between.
- Instant pricing
- One all-in price for the whole aircraft, whatever you ship.
Cargo
What we fly
Parts & equipment
When a line is down or a machine is waiting, the part shouldn't sit in a sorting hub. We fly it direct on a dedicated aircraft, often within hours.
Learn more →Aircraft parts (AOG)
An aircraft on the ground earns nothing. We fly the part from the supplier's nearest airport to the field where your aircraft is sitting, on a dedicated aircraft.
Learn more →Jewelry
Every handoff is a risk. On a dedicated aircraft your pieces go from one hand to the next with nobody else's freight in between.
Learn more →Watches
From a single reference to a whole collection, your watches fly in the cabin of an aircraft booked only for you.
Learn more →Documents
When only the originals will do and overnight isn't fast enough, put them on a dedicated flight.
Learn more →Fine art & collectibles
Fewer handoffs means less risk. A dedicated aircraft carries your piece directly, airport to airport.
Learn more →Prototypes & samples
A pitch, a production sign-off or a launch can hinge on one box arriving today. Fly it direct, with nobody else's freight aboard.
Learn more →Luxury goods & valuables
For the things that are too valuable, too fragile or too urgent for a carrier network.

Questions
Cargo FAQ
How does cargo with Bluebird work?
Sign in and request cargo access. Once our team approves your account, search flights as usual and choose Cargo instead of Passengers. At checkout, tell us the weight, dimensions and contents of each package, then drop them at the departure FBO; your recipient meets the aircraft at the other end.
Do I need a passenger on board?
No. A cargo flight carries only your packages and the crew. If someone is traveling with the shipment, book a passenger flight and tell us about it in the notes.
Do you carry hazmat?
No. We don't carry dangerous goods of any kind: no explosives, flammables, compressed gases, loose lithium batteries, corrosives, poisons, infectious substances, radioactive material or dry ice.
Why do I have to request access?
Cargo is for known shippers. We review each account before its first shipment so we know who we're flying for and what they ship.
How much does it cost?
You book the whole aircraft, so cargo is priced like a charter: by the route, the aircraft and the time. Search a flight to see an instant, all-in price.
