Step by step
- 1Buy a hangar at LSIA or Fort Zancudo and finish the setup.
- 2Source crates of the most valuable type you can.
- 3Sell in larger batches; big sales can need several aircraft.
- 4Sell in an Invite Only session.
Common mistakes
- Selling tiny batches — the hangar pays best in bulk.
- Choosing Zancudo if you have no military access.
Section 01
The brief
Air freight is the most crew-dependent business in the game: solo sourcing is slow, but a coordinated crew stacks crates fast.
- Air freight cargo sells in batches and rewards variety
- Sourcing solo is slower but avoids crew splits
- Sale missions can be dangerous in public lobbies
Section 02
Recommended route
Source only during bonus windows, keep one crate type per bay for the sale bonus, and sell full with escorts ready.
- Source cargo in the largest batch you can safely deliver
- Mix crate types for the variety bonus
- Sell at a stock level you can move in one trip
Section 03
What good looks like
The hangar earns its keep two or three weeks a year — the rest of the time it is an aircraft garage, and that is fine.
- Consistent deliveries with no lost cargo
