Philadelphia Boeing 757 Freighter Charter

Philadelphia air cargo charter sizes the aircraft to the shipment, and the shipment sets the departure time.

Boeing Commercial Airplanes (factory PF; or PCF/SF conversions by Precision/Pemco/ST Aerospace) introduced the Boeing 757 Freighter in 1987. It is flown by a crew of 2. The type carries Crew only (cargo) passengers, cruises at Mach 0.80 (about 458 knots) knots, tops out at 42,000 feet, covers 2,935 nautical miles and holds 6600 cubic feet of baggage. Full specifications for the Boeing 757 Freighter are published by Boeing Freighters.

Why the Boeing 757 Freighter Fits Philadelphia

Freight out of Philadelphia moves through Philadelphia International (KPHL), which takes anything up to airliner size on a 12,000-foot runway for the largest aircraft, and through Northeast Philadelphia (KPNE) for smaller and more urgent loads.

A published range of 2,935 nautical miles brings Aspen, Scottsdale, Las Vegas and Los Angeles within reach of Philadelphia, before the operator applies reserves and routing for the day.

Weight, dimensions and any hazardous classification all need confirming with the operator before the aircraft is committed. Your advisor will check them against the size of your load.

  • Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates.
  • Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
