Our teams in Mumbai and Frankfurt worked together to get the urgent shipment over the line.
Expediting the delivery of a 20-tonne piece of cargo
A freight forwarder tasked us with arranging the urgent delivery of a 20-tonne piece of cargo from Germany to India. Our cargo experts knew a nose-loading freighter was needed for the outsized freight, however there were no scheduled services or charter aircraft available near the shipper in Frankfurt at such short notice. With just three days until the delivery deadline, we set about planning a solution.
Our Solution
Route: Frankfurt > Liège > Mumbai
Aircraft: Boeing 747 freighter
Our experts in Mumbai and Frankfurt worked together to coordinate every stage of the cargo’s journey, from collection from the shipper’s facility to touching down in India.
Scanning the charter market, we sourced a nose-loading Boeing 747 freighter in Belgium with last-minute availability and arranged for the cargo to be trucked from Frankfurt to Liège.
We organised a crane to lift the heavy piece onto the aircraft, with a rep from our Frankfurt office on-hand at the airport to handle customs clearance and supervise the loading process.
Thanks to our careful planning and logistical expertise, everything went without a hitch and the cargo made it to India in good time.
