There were complex logistics involved when we were asked to help fly aid from the United States to Ukrainian refugees in Poland.
Arranging a multi-charter flying aid to Ukrainian refugees
When a specialist shipper asked us to help fly tents from the United States to Ukrainian refugees in Poland, our award-winning cargo team needed to work quickly to pull off this complex humanitarian charter.
Our Solution
Route: Chicago/Indianapolis/New York City > Rzeszów
Aircraft: Three Boeing B747s and two Antonov An-124s
The client needed to transport the aid as quickly and economically as possible, so we chartered five cost-effective aircraft at short notice and split the large shipment into smaller consignments that could be spread between them.
Our account manager worked around the clock to personally oversee the loading of each shipment. We also arranged for ACS reps to travel on board each flight, supervising the cargo and ensuring everything ran smoothly.
