ABL have completed a complex project involving the chartering of 2 full AN-124 Ruslan aircrafts for the delivery of critically urgent boiler equipment as photographed in the gallery below.
Renaud Stiers at ABL describes the shipment; “The cargo was flown from South Korea to the USA and had been made available just before the ‘Golden Week’ in Asia. Initial plans for packaging were made to suit the shipment by 3 full AN-124 chartered freighters and with a concern for cost-optimisation and in joint communication with the air-carriers’ loadmaster and tech-crews, we arranged for the cargo to be repacked suitably for airfreight in order to save 1 full AN-124 plane. By reworking the packaging, the total numbers of crates could be reduced in such way to finally fit 2 chartered AN-124 aircrafts with 2 smaller crates flown separately.
