MAIN DECK — ROLLER FLOOR AND CARGO TRACKS
Every mission, customised.
Mintadel Aviation identifies the optimal aircraft and routing for each assignment. Payload, timing, security and commercial efficiency, weighed together.
Complex, valuable & urgent
Cargo that ordinary freight can't safely or compliantly move.
End-to-end operation
Flight planning, permits, customs and specialist logistics managed as one.
Global reach
For governments, corporates, defence, insurers, family offices and more.
How we work
How a mission runs
- 01
Understand the mission
What is moving, how fast, into which jurisdiction, and under whose rules.
- 02
Select the right aircraft
Optimal aircraft and routing based on payload, timing and commercial efficiency.
- 03
Manage the operation
Flight planning, permits, customs coordination and specialist logistics, end to end.
- 04
Delivery and handover
Cargo arrives safely, efficiently and in line with international compliance requirements.
Capability overview
Bullion. Artwork. Gemstones. Wagyu. Helicopters. Breeding animals. Repatriation.
High value cargo
Artwork, museum collections, luxury goods and confidential shipments.
Moves as VAL on the air waybill. The desk will ask for declared value, packing specification, and whether an escort travels with the consignment.
Cash, bullion & precious assets
Cash, precious metals, gemstones and high‑security consignments.
Also VAL. Expect questions on declared value, seal numbers, and how the armoured transfer is arranged at each end of the flight.
Dangerous goods
Regulated chemicals, biological and strategic cargo. Operations remain subject to international aviation regulations and government approvals.
Governed by the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations, classes 1 to 9. The desk needs the UN number, class or division, packing group, and net quantity per package.
Defence & strategic cargo
Defence equipment and regulated strategic materials, where permitted by law.
Subject to export control in the origin, transit and destination states. The desk will ask which licences are already in hand, and who holds them.
General air freight
Time-critical movements where speed and reliability are essential.
Five numbers decide the aircraft: gross weight, piece count, largest piece, ready date, required-by date. Everything else follows from those.
Chilled & high value food
Temperature-controlled seafood, Wagyu, truffles, caviar and perishables.
Quoted against a published temperature regime rather than a number.
Livestock transport
Livestock and breeding animals.
Governed by the IATA Live Animals Regulations. The desk will need species, container specification, and whether an attendant travels with the animals.
Vehicle transport
Vehicles, helicopters, aircraft components and specialist machinery.
Decided by door aperture and floor loading, not weight alone. Length, width, height, centre of gravity, and whether the item rolls.
Repatriation services
Compassionate repatriation logistics, including humanitarian support.
Handled under the carrier's documentation requirements for human remains, with the receiving funeral director named before anything is booked.
Regulations named here are the published international instruments that govern each class. Operations remain subject to those regulations and to government approvals.

Consignment details
Every consignment is individually assessed. The more of the route, weight and timing you can give us, the faster we can come back with the right aircraft.
