Magma Aviation

Magma Aviation is a UK based air cargo charter specialist. It commercially manages dedicated wide-body cargo capacity that it contracts from trusted third-party carriers. The company has been in business for 15 years.

Its fleet includes the Boeing 747F. It offers both ad-hoc and scheduled flying for freight forwarders, logistics providers and charter brokers. Customers can book a one-off shipment, a full air cargo charter or a recurring series of cargo flights.

Magma moves many types of cargo across global routes. It runs e-commerce air cargo services for tight delivery targets. It also has an animal transport service that focuses on comfort, safety and welfare, with expert handling and groom attendance on board. For automotive customers, it moves components and fully assembled vehicles. Its pharmaceutical solutions keep strict temperature control and meet regulatory rules for healthcare and medical products. It also carries perishables in temperature-controlled conditions, with fast turnaround for time-critical deliveries.

Magma supports humanitarian relief with urgent response and access to hard-to-reach places, working with humanitarian organisations and logistics partners. It also handles outsize and special loads, and says its fleet combines capacity, range and fuel efficiency for demanding jobs.

The company offers several ways to buy capacity. These include seasonal or multi-year charter plans, shared charters that match cargo with available space at a lower shared cost, and flexible ad-hoc charters for round trips or one-way needs. It also offers block space agreements (BSAs) for steady capacity and works with general sales agents (GSAs) to extend its reach and local knowledge in key markets.

Its listed weekly routes link airports with the codes LGG, NBO, CAI, LUN, JNB, EBB, HKG and CMB, with one or two flights a week on each pattern. An aircraft availability page shows current freighter locations and upcoming capacity.

Magma says it works closely with partners to understand what is needed and when. It partners with many freight forwarders, logistics providers and charter brokers around the world.
