When the freight cannot wait, we are already ready.
Business Air operates a fleet dedicated to ad hoc critical air cargo in the greater Houston metroplex. Cargo-configured turboprop aircraft. Crews standing by around the clock.
When the job stops, we get it moving again.
Ad hoc critical freight. On demand. 24 hours a day.
Some freight cannot wait for the next scheduled flight. Parts on a drilling rig. Equipment at a refinery. A component holding up a production line. When the cost of delay is measured in thousands of dollars per hour, the right answer is a dedicated cargo aircraft, not a commercial connection.
Business Air has operated in the Houston energy corridor for decades. We understand what time-sensitive means in the oilfield and industrial services context. Our cargo-configured turboprop aircraft are sized and equipped for these missions across the region on short notice.
If it fits through the door, we can move it.
Oilfield & industrial
Parts and equipment to rigs, refineries, and industrial sites across the region on short notice.
Production-critical components
A single component holding up a production line, delivered before the cost of downtime compounds.
Medical & pharmaceutical
Time-sensitive medical supplies, specimens, pharmaceuticals, and equipment that require fast, reliable transport outside of commercial carrier schedules.
Legal & financial documents
Closing documents, legal filings, and financial instruments that must reach their destination the same day.
Oversized & pallet cargo
Both our aircraft are equipped with full pallet-size cargo doors. Call us with your dimensions and we will tell you immediately whether we can take the mission.
Same-day & overnight
Crews and aircraft are on standby. Most missions can be wheels-up within two hours of your call, including small municipal airports and remote strips.
AOG support where commercial carriers do not.
AOG events rarely happen at major airports. We operate into short fields, grass strips, and remote municipal airports that scheduled carriers cannot serve on short notice. If there is a runway, we will assess whether we can get there and tell you immediately.
Wheels up in under two hours.
Our crews are on standby. There is no scheduling queue, no freight forwarding delay, and no commercial airline cutoff time. You call us, we assess the mission, and we move.
If your aircraft is AOG right now, call us with your tail number, the aircraft's location, what needs to move, and where it is coming from. We will tell you in the first conversation whether we can help and when we can be there.
