The game is named after the concept of air charter, the commercial use of aircraft on non-established flight routes.

The scenario involves a number of small companies competing for air freight business where the transportation is between the lesser known airfields.

Each player is represented by a small plastic aircraft with a peg for carrying the freight tokens.

The aircraft are moved around the flight paths between airfields making use of a single die.

The games also includes the playing board representing a map of Australasia and Southeast Asia, four fuel gauges, freight cards, incident cards, paper money and several plastic pyramid shapes representing freight of three types, special foodstuffs (white), basic foodstuffs (white) and machinery (coloured).
