“The cargo was packed at the Korean manufacturers premises and was delivered in 2 separate lots to Incheon International Airport where it was successfully loaded in a direct transshipment on board of the 2 aircrafts. The 2 Antonov aircrafts were flying at a 2-day interval from Incheon International Airport (ICN) to Chicago (ORD) via Anchorage (ANC) for crew-rest and fuel-stop. Once landed in Chicago, the aircrafts were discharged directly and the cargo was delivered to the site, around 60 miles from the airport.
“Excluding the extensive upfront preparatory work involving the suitable crating of the cargo (considering the maximum capacities of plane, the CoG and gross weights of the cargo for stability in the air as well as the capacity of the internal crane of the plane), the cargo was delivered door-to-door in less than 4 days’ time for each aircraft.
“ABL would like to thank all their partners involved in the delivery of this critically urgent cargo including the teams in Korea and the USA as well as the very experienced air crew on both planes who contributed fully to the success.”
