A shipment for Monaco gets its own aircraft when the deadline is tight, the pieces are oversized or the contents are worth too much to send any other way.
The Shorts 360 entered service in 1982. It has a published range of 570 nautical miles and a cruise speed of 210 knots. The aircraft has a service ceiling of 20,000 feet and 922 cubic feet of cargo volume.

The Shorts 360 on a Monaco Trip
The Grand Prix in early June, the Monaco Yacht Show in September and the summer season are the busiest times on the Riviera, so those dates book first.
Freight bound for Monaco usually flies into Nice Côte d’Azur and finishes the trip by road, and the operator confirms that the airport can take the aircraft and the load on the day. The runway an aircraft needs is calculated by the operator for that day’s conditions, and we confirm it with the operator before you book.
How Monaco Clients Use the Shorts 360
Payload is only part of the question. The door size, the floor length and the way the shipment is loaded all decide which freighter we put forward, and the operator confirms the airport.
Tell us what the freight weighs, how big it is and where it has to go, and your advisor will say whether this aircraft can take it or find one that can.
Vetting Behind Every Trip
Every operator, aircraft, and crew goes through our internal due diligence before we present any options. Our internal standards meet or exceed what the FAA requires:
- FAR Part 135 charter operators for traditional private aircraft, or FAR Part 121 for airliner-size and group trips (or the foreign equivalent on international legs)
- Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates.
- Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
- Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.
