Next Flight Out (NFO): Safety and Speed in Secured Transport

When it’s highly sensitive, irreplaceable, and needs to be delivered as quickly as possible, leading financial institutions and government agencies alike turn to Next Flight Out (NFO) shipping. When safety, speed, and security matter, you want your shipment on the first aircraft that can deliver on time—especially when that means ASAP.

But the very next flight available might not be the answer for the secured transport of such sensitive shipments as one-of-a-kind documents and proprietary digital media. Why? Because it may not arrive at your destination first. There may be a different flight that leaves later but arrives sooner. Rather than the next flight out, you need the best flight out.

Of all the available flights to your destination, how do you know which is the best flight out?

What to Look for in an NFO Logistics Partner for Secure Transport

For the fastest way to deliver your highly sensitive, time-critical materials, your logistics provider needs deep expertise with both technology and precision logistics. That includes:

• Flight routing technology that identifies the fastest delivery based on weather, aircraft type, security requirements, on-time performance, schedule reliability, and availability of backup flights. 

• GPS-enabled real-time monitoring that uses 4G and 5G technology to precisely track your high-value shipments from origin to delivery. For the highest levels of security, an airline-approved sensor should monitor precisely when and where a shipment is opened or if the outer packaging has been compromised.

• Additional security measures such as unmarked vans and serialized, tamper-proof cable or zip ties.

• Trained agents that provide precise answers around such critical questions as which airline has the best on-time performance for a specific route or which airports you should avoid at which times. 

• Global reach and strong carrier relationships—so no matter where your shipment needs to go, it has the best opportunity to arrive on time. MNX delivers to more than 500 airports across 190 countries.

• Expedited ground courier services to complete the journey, picking up at the airport and delivering to the final destination. MNX has more than 45,000 courier partners worldwide.

• Anytime, anywhere coverage: emergencies happen 24/7/365. So you need a logistics provider ready to respond when needed—including nights, weekends, and holidays.
