Flying a partial aircraft wing to Washington
An aerospace manufacturer asked us to help transport a partial aircraft wing from Florida to Washington, where it was urgently needed to keep a supply chain moving. A charter was the best option for this consignment, due to the cargo’s size and the time-sensitive nature of the request. We sprung into action to find the ideal solution in time.
Our Solution
Route: Miami > Seattle
Aircraft: Boeing B747-400F
We sourced a Boeing B747-400F with nose loading functionality, which was ideal for the 47-foot partial wing.
Our knowledgeable team recommended trucking the cargo from the manufacturer to Miami Airport two hours away, as we knew the airport had the necessary number of main deck loaders to safely load such a long piece of cargo into the nose of the aircraft.
