Onboard Courier (OBC) Service
When every hour counts, a dedicated courier hand-carries your shipment on the next available flight — personally escorted, door to door, anywhere in the world.
When a machine is down or a deadline cannot move, normal air cargo can still be too slow. With an onboard courier, a dedicated person carries your shipment on the next available commercial flight and delivers it by hand.
Flaming Integrated Logistiks arranges OBC shipments to and from Lagos for urgent spare parts, critical documents and small high-value items.
What's included
When onboard courier makes sense
OBC is used most by oil and gas, manufacturing and aviation businesses in Nigeria, where one missing part can stop operations that cost far more than the courier. The shipment travels as the courier's baggage, which avoids the wait for cargo space and cargo handling.
Size, weight and content limits apply, and some goods cannot be hand-carried. Contact us with the details and we will confirm whether OBC is possible and the fastest route.
