Why the Shorts 360 Fits Baltimore

With 570 nautical miles of published range, it can fly between Baltimore and destinations such as the New York area, Boston and Montreal, allowing for reserves and routing. Late May is one of the busiest stretches of the year in Baltimore, with the Preakness and the Naval Academy’s Commissioning Week, so call early for those dates.

Freight to and from Maryland can move through BWI or Martin State, and before booking, the operator works out the load plan, the airports and the routing. Runway needs are calculated by the operator for that day’s conditions, and we confirm them with the operator before the trip is booked.

How Baltimore Clients Use the Shorts 360

Choosing a freighter starts with the cargo itself, its size, its weight and whether it loads at the side or the nose, and the operator then plans the airports and the route.

Tell us what the shipment weighs, its dimensions and its heaviest piece, and where it needs to be, and we will confirm whether this freighter fits or point you to one that does.

Vetting Behind Every Trip

Every operator, aircraft, and crew goes through our internal due diligence before we present any options. Our internal standards meet or exceed what the FAA requires:

  • FAR Part 135 charter operators for traditional private aircraft, or FAR Part 121 for airliner-size and group trips (or the foreign equivalent on international legs)
  • Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates.
  • Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
  • Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.
