U-Freight Group chartered an Aeroflot passenger cargo-only aircraft in May to airfreight over 2,000 cartons of personal protective equipment (PPE) from Beijing to New York.
This was the most recent in a number of full aircraft charters that the Hong Kong-based logistics company continues to arrange for a variety of customers across the globe.
U-Freight’s client was one of the world’s largest manufacturers and distributors of laboratory equipment and supplies, and had purchased epidemic prevention materials from five different manufacturers in China.
U-Freight’s logistics network in China was deployed to collect and deliver the products, which included KN95 masks, non-medical disposable face masks, goggles and protective clothing, for consolidation at its logistics hub in Beijing.
The company’s Beijing office also prepared all export customs documents, and undertook quality inspections on behalf of its client.
On arrival in New York, U-Freight America assisted with expedited customs clearance of all 2,186 cartons, as all the consignee’s logistics staff were in quarantine at home when the cargo arrived at JFK International airport.
U-Freight CEO Simon Wong said: “We are pleased that we can do our part as a freight forwarding and logistics solutions provider to support the global community and the frontline workers by transporting these products to countries where the virus is still prevalent and assisting in combating this epidemic.”
