Background: There are a limited number of aircraft in the world capable of carrying outsized equipment. When our client contacted us with a requirement to transport three 8.6-meter-long drill bits, our charter specialist promptly identified the appropriate aircraft for the task.
Solution: An IL-76 aircraft was the perfect solution for this mission. As soon as the offer was accepted by the client, our team started working on the permits required for the charter. The client was working to a very tight schedule and required the drill bits delivered to its destination within 48 hours. Our team worked tirelessly, coordinating with the ground handlers to secure the permits on time. The flight proceeded as scheduled.
