Quick thinking was needed when logistical difficulties threatened an AOG part’s urgent transit across China.
Thinking fast to fly an AOG part across China
When a freight forwarder asked us to help fly an aircraft motor across China at short notice, we immediately sent an onboard courier to accompany the time-critical shipment – but despite us checking in advance, airport security said the AOG cargo had to travel as air freight instead. With time running out, we sprung into action to find an alternative solution for this urgent request.
Our Solution
Route: Xiamen > Beijing
Aircraft: Boeing 737-800
Within 30 minutes, our quick-thinking broker had secured space for the cargo on the next scheduled flight, but without an onboard courier we needed someone to take it from the airport to the warehouse after landing.
One of our team in Beijing travelled to the terminal at midnight to collect the 22 kg box, before hand-delivering it the next morning ahead of schedule.
