NFO, also known as next flight out, is a service offered by an Indirect Air Carrier (IAC) such as Medi-Ops. This allows organizations to ship blood, organs, and other medical specimens via commercial airlines and our private network of operators. This service is more economical than an aircraft charter and provides a rapid and secure method of transport.
There are more than 45,000 domestic flights each day that have the capability to transport cargo. By utilizing our software, we are able to locate the nearest origin and destination airports. We then can identify the optimal flight, departing and arriving, at these airports as well as the drive time to and from each. Because of this, next flight out is a great option when time is of the essence for your cargo.
Once the transport order has been confirmed, we immediately dispatch appropriate units. The shipment is picked up, taken to the airport, and tendered to the airline or aircraft. We monitor your package during the entire transportation process and you can follow this progress using our software. Upon flight arrival, we retrieve your shipment and deliver it to its final destination.
NFO shipments tend to be time critical, this is why it is important to use an IAC! We are the party that ensures the safety of your package throughout its journey. We work directly with the TSA, DHS, and FAA to maintain the highest standards. Reach out today to learn more, and open an account! We look forward to serving you!
