Section 5.4.5.2 in the manual:
Details: There is only one method to conduct the
air transport of a non-motorized combat unit. The
combat unit must begin the process in a hex stacked
with a friendly air base unit. A unit must have at least
1 MP remaining in order to be air transported. While
in air transport unit mode (F9), select the combat unit
to be transported. Next Shift-right click on the target
hex, which must be a hex with a friendly air base unit
or a town, city or urban hex adjacent to a friendly air
base unit. The ‘Pick Air Units for Mission’ window will
display (26.3.29). Select or deselect air group units
as desired and select the ‘Launch’ button to conduct
the air transport combat unit mission. Note that the
number of ‘Max Sorties’ must at least equal the number
of ‘Required Sorties’ for the air group units selected to
conduct the mission as displayed in the ‘Pick Air Units for
Mission’ window. Air transport of non-motorized units
can be conducted with up to 2 sorties (max sorties of
2). The computer does not account for possible combat
and operational losses when figuring the number of
sorties required.
As far as how soon, I can't tell you when it makes sense. You might get intercepted by enemy fighters, but you could transport in night by switching to night mode before you do the actual drop, but IIRC that increases damage to the ground unit doing the transport.
