OBC means a dedicated handler travels on the same commercial flight as your parcel — pickup to delivery, one person, zero warehouse handoffs. This is what that actually means, and when you need it.
Not a category on a rate card. A specific operating model — and the reason it's fast is structural, not promotional.
Most air shipments in India move as cargo: booked into a warehouse, consolidated with other freight, loaded into a hold, then unloaded and routed through another warehouse at the other end before a last-mile courier picks it up. Every one of those steps is a handoff — and every handoff is a place things sit, wait, or go missing.
An On-Board Courier removes the handoffs. One handler receives your shipment, checks it in as accompanied baggage or hand-carry item on a scheduled commercial flight, stays with it through security and boarding, and delivers it directly at the destination. No warehouse in the middle. No second team taking custody. One person, one chain of accountability, start to finish.
It's the same principle as a courier hand-delivering a letter versus dropping it in a mail sorting facility — except the "walk" is a flight, and the distance is 1,000+ kilometers.
Four stages. The same handler is present for all of them.
Submit shipment details and destination. We confirm the next available flight and assign a dedicated handler.
Your handler collects the shipment directly from your location within the agreed window — no drop-off required.
The handler carries your shipment through check-in and security, and stays with it for the full flight.
On landing, the same handler delivers straight to the recipient. No last-mile courier, no re-routing.
OBC costs more than standard courier. It earns that cost back when the shipment itself is worth more than the fee to move it fast.
Contracts, court filings, and notarized documents that must physically arrive — not a scanned copy — before a deadline.
A component holding up a manufacturing line, where every hour of downtime costs more than the flight.
Prototypes, jewellery, or lab samples where direct custody matters as much as speed.
Shipments with a narrow viability window that can't survive a warehouse delay.
Twelve city-pair corridors, live today. New routes added as flight frequency allows.
A dedicated handler physically travels on the same commercial flight as your shipment, keeping it in direct custody from pickup to delivery instead of routing it through a cargo warehouse chain.
Standard air cargo moves through multiple warehouse handoffs and consolidation points, typically taking 24–72 hours. OBC keeps one handler with the shipment door-to-door on a scheduled flight, usually same-day.
Documents, samples, spare parts, and most non-hazardous goods within standard hand-carry and airline security limits. Restricted and hazardous items follow the same rules as any air passenger baggage — check with our team before booking.
Most bookings are confirmed and airborne on the next available flight, often within hours — subject to route cutoff times shown at booking.
Yes — you're paying for a dedicated handler and a same-day guarantee, not shared cargo space. It's priced per shipment, per route, and shown upfront with no hidden slab charges.
