AKRON, Ohio – FedEx Custom Critical’s CharterAir® division now offers Saturday delivery of premium air freight through its Point-to-Point service. This enables customers to enjoy the benefits of overnight service on Friday pickups, instead of waiting until Monday.

Point-to-Point utilizes exclusive-use FedEx Custom Critical vehicles for pickups and deliveries and the FedEx Express aircraft network to provide next-day and same-day deliveries. The result is a premium air-freight service that features charter-like quality and communications. 

“Saturday deliveries through Point-to-Point add a new dimension to premium air freight,” says CharterAir Director Kevin McClellan. “Business customers can now streamline their production schedules to include Saturday deliveries if necessary, reducing downtime and minimizing shipping costs. It’s another way that FedEx Custom Critical can customize solutions for our customers.”
