About ProCharter
ProCharter is a private global aviation and logistics solutions provider specialising in aviation and logistics management, Dangerous Goods consultancy, remote-site aviation support and project logistics.
Founded by UK RAF (Royal Air Force) veterans, ProCharter delivers agile, reliable and cost-effective solutions for complex missions across the aerospace, defence, humanitarian and commercial sectors worldwide.
The company has extensive experience in aircraft charter, project cargo, dangerous goods consultancy, remote-site aviation support and multimodal logistics solutions for commercial, government, defence, humanitarian and specialist-sector clients worldwide.
This operation demonstrates exactly where ProCharter adds value: complex airlift, specialist cargo, demanding timelines and the need for absolute operational confidence.
Transporting sensitive aerospace equipment across the Pacific required far more than simply securing an aircraft. Every stage demanded detailed planning, careful environmental consideration, Dangerous Goods expertise and close coordination between all stakeholders to ensure the cargo arrived safely and on schedule.
– Ryan Duffy, Director of Strategy, Special Projects, Training & Consultancy
ProCharter, a global aviation and logistics solutions provider, has successfully coordinated a specialist Antonov AN-124 heavy-lift charter operation in support of an aerospace logistics programme, transporting mission-critical aerospace cargo from Auckland, New Zealand.
The operation formed part of a wider frontier services programme supporting an international customer supply chain and demonstrated ProCharter’s capability to deliver complex, time-critical heavy-lift air charter solutions across continents.
The Antonov AN-124 is purpose-built for the transportation of heavy and oversized freight, with a payload capability of up to 120 tonnes. Its unique configuration and loading capabilities enable it to transport cargo that cannot be accommodated by conventional freighter aircraft.
Complex Aerospace Cargo Movement
The operation involved the transportation of several out-of-gauge items from New Zealand as part of a critical international supply chain. The intercontinental movement required meticulous planning, secure cargo handling and continuous coordination between multiple operational stakeholders.
ProCharter’s cargo planning team and Dangerous Goods experts gave particular attention to environmental and cargo-protection requirements, including temperature management, vibration mitigation and the safe transportation of regulated dangerous goods, including lithium batteries and non-flammable gas. These measures ensured that the cargo remained protected throughout the journey.
ProCharter’s role encompassed aircraft sourcing, charter operational planning, the mobilisation of two experienced Dangerous Goods and operational management specialists, schedule management, route support, and detailed liaison with stakeholders, airport authorities and handling agents.
This integrated approach enabled ProCharter to maintain operational oversight throughout the movement and ensure that the required standards of safety, coordination and execution were maintained.
Specialist Heavy-Lift Capability
The AN-124 is widely employed for the transportation of oversized cargo. Its nose- and rear-loading capability, reinforced cargo deck, onboard cranes and high-volume cargo hold make it particularly well suited to aerospace logistics, where cargo size, weight, environmental protection and schedule reliability are critical considerations.
The successful operation further demonstrates ProCharter’s ability to manage specialist airlift requirements from initial aircraft sourcing through to operational execution, providing customers with a single point of coordination for complex and time-critical cargo movements.
Commitment to New Zealand
Building on its experience supporting complex aviation and logistics operations in New Zealand, ProCharter is exploring opportunities to deepen its engagement across the country and wider region.
As an initial demonstration of this commitment, ProCharter has secured membership to the New Zealand Defence Industry Association (NZDIA). This will enable the company to build stronger relationships with local stakeholders, contribute its international aviation and logistics expertise, and support future aerospace, defence and specialist logistics requirements in New Zealand.

ProCharter recently accepted an invitation to become a member of the National Defense and Transportation Association.
– ProCharter
Based in the USA, National Defense and Transportation Association (NDTA) serves as a trusted environment where Government, Military and Private Contractors can get together and solve pressing challenges in the fields of logistics, transportation and passenger services.
ProCharter has a proven history in providing solutions to Military Aviation and Logistics challenges, often in remote and challenging locations.
NDTA Memberships: Time to Grow…Time to Go!
During my time in the military, there was a saying I often heard that was validated as truth over many years of service, “Mission first, people always!” The idea was clear: Nothing is more important than the organization’s mission, but it is also true there is no way to accomplish that mission without all the Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, Airmen, and Coastguardsmen and the organizations to which they belong.
Since incorporation in October of 1944, as the Army Transportation Association (ATA), NDTA has been an organization driven by individual and corporate members who believed in the mission, “To foster a strong and efficient US transportation system to support the economy and the national security of the United States.” And those men and women dedicated their time and talent to building a strong US national defense. They passionately formed and led NDTA chapters and committees while working to educate government and industry on the logistics and transportation issues of the day.
– COL Craig Hymes, USA (Ret.), Senior Vice President of Operations, NDTA
Mission & Goals
Since World War II, the National Defense Transportation Association (NDTA) has served our country’s national defense and homeland security as a trusted environment where government, military, and private sector professionals can solve pressing challenges in the fields of logistics, transportation, and passenger travel services.
NDTA is a non-political, non-profit educational organization. Our three priorities are to:
Maintain that “trusted environment” by facilitating strong working relationships, education, and the exchange of ideas
Invest in programs and capabilities that provide value to our corporate and individual members, and help develop the next generation of professionals
Serve the broader national security interest through a new focus on all government stakeholders in logistics, transportation, and passenger travel
We have a rich history, dating back to 1944. In that time, NDTA has established a great track record of service; including real-world disaster relief through partnerships with organizations like American Red Cross, the creation of transportation studies and white papers, the development of emergency management plans, and exercises in cooperation with the military.
‘ProCharter was delighted to support the Joint Helicopter Command with a multimodal logistics service in the Middle East for Exercise Pinion Oman 21′. Our ability to provide rapid support and dynamic on the ground solutions was a key factor in our success. We look forward to supporting JHC and UK MoD in the future.’
– Steve Day, Managing Director
ProCharter was approached at short notice by UK MoD to arrange the supply, delivery and management of a wide range of support vehicles and equipment for Exercise Pinion Oman 21; Joint Helicopter Command’s (JHC) desert environmental training exercise. Having a geographical footprint in the region with our head office in Dubai, we were immediately able to divert resources and engage with suppliers in the region to source and deliver the required resources for the exercise in a timely fashion.
ProCharter’s Head Ground Operations Support Manager was immediately made available for deployment. All administration and central operations support functions were provided by ProCharter’s operations staff, from the geographically well-placed Dubai office. ProCharter’s operations staff and contractors are ex UK RAF Movements Controllers, with a wealth of global experience, covering aviation and multi-modal logistics, including ISO container loading and supervision, aircraft pallet building, cargo preparation, load planning and operational co-ordination, as well as being qualified and experienced in IATA Dangerous Goods (DG) and IMDG.
Our team was initially responsible for the provisioning and management of all vehicles and equipment per SOR requirements. However, our combined experience, military backgrounds and capabilities enabled us to offer additional valuable advice and support, through many discussions and observations both on the ground in Oman and in email correspondence and conference calls with JHC staff. This helped to improve operational and commercial efficiency of the exercise.
During the deployment, our team experienced temperature fluctuations between 27°C and 42°C and a cyclone that caused them to take shelter. Despite the challenges during the course of the operation, we effectively utilized (3) Antonov AN-124, five (5) wide-body freighters, twenty-one (21) flatbed and curtain siders, four (4) cranes, and delivered, sixty-five (65) vehicles, along with an array of supplies and equipment.
This was a thoroughly rewarding project. Our team enjoyed interacting with and supporting the UK military during Exercise Pinion Oman 21. We are looking forward to our continuing association with the UK MoD and, building upon this experience going forward as the UK Military develops its training program in the region. We consider and indeed realize that, with the world’s leading military nations, 3PL companies such as ProCharter need to offer a first class product that complements the deployed capabilities of the military and adds value within tight commercial constraints & budgets.
ProCharter, through its experience, network of local suppliers, geographical footprint and its cooperative approach, provided a ‘one-stop shop’ solution for the exercise. Our forward-leaning and logistically aware personnel and suppliers were ideally placed to fill any void or oversights that the exercise encountered.
