Frequently Asked Questions
Can I charter a cargo plane to a remote location with no airport?▼
Yes, you can charter a cargo plane to a remote location with no airport, with SV Charter using short field freighters, rough strip capable aircraft, and helicopters to reach destinations standard freighters cannot. The Antonov An-26, An-12, and Ilyushin Il-76 can operate from short, unpaved, and snow or sand surface runways. Where no runway exists at all, cargo is flown to the nearest functional airfield and transferred onward by helicopter, all terrain vehicle, or air drop using parachute palletisation. We also organise temporary fuel pre-positioning at remote strips when commercial fuel is unavailable.
How do you deliver cargo to areas with limited aviation infrastructure?▼
Delivering cargo to areas with limited aviation infrastructure involves a multi-modal plan tailored to each site. SV Charter typically combines a heavy lift freighter into the nearest paved or semi prepared airfield with onward helicopter shuttles, river barge transfer, or convoy trucking for the final leg. Aircraft selection prioritises rough strip capability, on board cargo handling systems, and self loading ramps so ground equipment is not required at destination. Crews are briefed on austere operations including no ATC procedures, limited fuel availability, and contingency diversion planning to ensure safe arrival despite the infrastructure constraints.
What types of cargo can be shipped to isolated or hard-to-reach regions?▼
A broad range of cargo can be shipped to isolated or hard to reach regions, including fuel in bowsers, food rations and bottled water, prefabricated shelter and accommodation units, drilling and mining equipment, power generators, satellite communications kits, vehicles and ATVs, medical supplies, scientific research instruments, mail and parcel deliveries, and full tent camp inventories. Live animals such as livestock and sled dogs, along with seasonal worker provisions, are also routinely flown to expedition bases. SV Charter packages each shipment for the destination environment, including arctic, desert, jungle, and high altitude operating conditions.
Do you handle landing permits and documentation for remote destination flights?▼
Yes, SV Charter handles all landing permits and documentation for remote destination flights, including diplomatic clearances, military airspace coordination, restricted area approvals, and one off permits for unscheduled fields not listed in standard aviation publications. We secure overflight permits for every transit country, file the flight plan with applicable authorities, and prepare customs documentation including pro forma invoices, end user statements, and country specific import paperwork. For sites on indigenous lands, protected areas, or active research zones, we also obtain access permissions from local authorities or programme administrators well ahead of the flight date.
Can you fly supplies to mining sites, oil fields, or tent camps?▼
Yes, SV Charter flies supplies to mining sites, oil fields, and tent camps across remote regions of Africa, Central Asia, the Arctic, the Sahara, and Southeast Asia. Typical loads include crew rotations, drilling consumables, geological samples for return shipping, refrigerated provisions, replacement spare parts, satellite communications gear, and modular accommodation pods. We operate on fixed rotation schedules for long term project sites and on demand for one off emergency replenishments. Aircraft are chosen based on strip length and surface condition, with rear ramp Il-76 and An-12 freighters preferred for the most challenging field operations.
