Frankfurt, Germany-based trade-only charter company Neo has completed a program of 20 air cargo charters from Spain and Portugal to the UK, carrying urgentautomotive components.
The flights operated from Spain and Portugal to Birmingham and Liverpool UK using Metro, Saab 340, ATR42 and ATR72 freighter aircraft with capacities rangingfrom 2.1 to 9.2 tonnes. The palletised loads comprised from 1 to 25 packages per flight, each item measuring 120cm x 80cm x 120cm, and weighing 360 kilos.
All shipments were needed to maintain car production lines. Flights typically were booked at a few hours’ notice, with departures and arrivals all on the sameday.
Ismail Duran, time critical sales manager Neo said: “This was a challenging period in which ongoing temporary supply issues led to sporadic and unpredictablecomponent needs. The only common denominator was the extreme urgency of the shipments, to avoid production line shut-downs."
