The German army is transporting equipment back home from its international mission in Afghanistan via Leipzig/Halle Airport, using an Antonov Airlines’ An124-100 freighter.
The process started with two helicopters, which were unloaded by PortGround, a subsidiary of Mitteldeutsche Flughafen.
“Handling outsized cargo is one of our core skill areas. Whether this involves helicopters, machine parts, vehicles or underground train vehicles, all the customers at the airport benefit from our many years of experience,” said Alexander König, Managing Director of PortGround.
Two Antonov Airlines 124-100 freighters are permanently stationed at Leipzig/Halle as part of the SALIS project (Strategic Airlift International Solution).
