The most pressing issue was the urgency of the shipment; it was time-sensitive and needed to be delivered quickly to avoid project delays. Additionally, the power unit was both heavy and large, which necessitated specialized packing and handling. Compounding these issues was the complexity of the route. There were no direct flights, meaning the shipment would require a multi-modal transportation solution that involved airfreight and overland transport. The shipment needed to be managed over a weekend, adding another layer of logistical complexity.

The JAS team ensured that the power unit was packed in airworthy materials to withstand the journey and handling processes, utilizing out-of-gauge (OOG) packing techniques. The team then transported the shipment via a freighter flight, taking advantage of airfreight to expedite the movement. The shipment was then moved by bonded trucking, finally reaching its destination. This cross-border overland transport was carefully coordinated to ensure timely customs clearance and delivery. By opting for this route and transportation method, the team saved the customer two extra days compared to other options, underscoring JAS’s commitment to meeting urgent deadlines.

The meticulous execution of the logistics plan ensured the power unit reached its destination within the required timeframe. Using OOG packing and airfreight ensured the equipment’s safe and timely delivery, meeting the urgent project requirements. Additionally, by leveraging a freighter flight and efficient overland transport, the JAS team was able to eliminate the need for chartering small aircraft, resulting in significant cost savings for the customer while still adhering to the tight project deadlines.
