Flying four helicopters from Europe to Africa

An Antonov An-124 was the only aircraft for the job when a freight forwarder asked us to help fly four helicopters from Europe to Africa, but we faced logistical complications when trying to arrange this 12-tonne cargo charter.

Our Solution

Route: Europe > Africa

Aircraft: Antonov An-124

An-124s aren’t usually allowed to operate from the client’s preferred airport due to their large wingspan, but our knowledgeable experts worked with Antonov to secure special permission for this charter to go ahead.

We obtained the necessary permits to fly the outsized cargo to Africa. Our broker was on the ground to personally oversee the loading of the helicopters and ensure the charter departed without a hitch.

The Finer Details

Buying Power: Our strong relationship with the airline meant we were able to secure the aircraft we needed during a time of extremely high demand.
