Antonov Airlines and First Class Freight (FCF) transported oversized equipment, including an Azipod thruster, from Hong Kong to Houston, USA.
“We had only three weeks to design and build the frame and complete the transportation,” said Olha Danylova, commercial executive at Antonov. “We were able to safely and timely complete this complex transport.”
Oscar Swildens, managing director of FCF, added: “Unlike sea transport, the airlines provided the necessary speed, although it posed unique challenges with frame design, fittings suitable at each stage of transportation, weight distribution in the aircraft cargo cabin, and loading planning,” who emphasised the importance of close cooperation between FCF and Antonov.
Earlier this month, HLPFI reported that Antonov – along with Ceva Logistics – had transported satellite equipment from Germany to the USA.
