CharterDesk launched as a full-service charter partner, offering bespoke air cargo, passenger, private jet charters and ACMI/leasing solutions for customers worldwide.
Based in Hungary, CharterDesk is the product of more than 25 years of in-depth experience across ground handling, airline planning, brokerage and GSA operations.
“We are proud to declare the official start of a new era in aircraft chartering and leasing,” says Emir Ozdabak, managing director of CharterDesk. “One that is built on structured, data-driven capacity sourcing and a managed pipeline of carefully vetted operators, giving clients faster, more reliable quotes tailored precisely to their requirements, along with complete operational visibility.”
Key takeaways:
· The company’s model combines global operator access with a single accountable point of contact, structured capacity sourcing and consistent vetting standards. CharterDesk provides a central European position inside the EU’s legal and regulatory framework, supporting direct access to the European market and operator pool, while enabling international charter coverage across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, the Americas, and Africa.
· CharterDesk will support freight forwarders and logistics integrators, manufacturers and shippers (particularly in automotive, aerospace, oil and gas, and the pharmaceuticals industries), humanitarian and relief organizations, government and defense logistics teams, and airlines or GSAs requiring supplementary capacity.
· It has access to the full range of freighter types from narrowbody for regional/express charters, to widebody for long-haul volume, main-deck/nose-loaders for outsize shipments and special projects and heavy loads.
“The reason for charters is often one of urgency, where every minute counts. So, customers are looking for speed, reliability, and, above all, someone they can trust to take full ownership for the operational side of sourcing, arranging, and delivering a solution. Yet, today’s processes can feel opaque, and complex due to fragmented accountability and varying levels of competence across the chain. And operational workflows relying on an unstructured mix of emails and phone calls, are not only slow but also carry the risk of errors and oversight,” adds Ozdabak. “We established CharterDesk to combat precisely those pain points and remove all complexity by allocating a dedicated senior-level contact to each individual project. At CharterDesk, we only work with vetted operators and ensure transparency from the first call through to delivery. Our aim is simple: to provide tailored solutions via a trusted, accountable expert working with tech-based structure, who can explain the available options and quickly find the right aircraft fit for the particular mission.”
