XLP member, Glaube Logistics, completed a recent air charter from Chengdu in China to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The cargo was 3,600 pieces of air purification units, weighing a total of 110 tons, and the plane used was an AirBridgeCargo Airlines’ B747-8F.

The initial challenge for Glaube Logistics was to identify the right mode of transport and aircraft to make sure that the cargo could be moved in a single lot as the shipment was very time sensitive.

Since the scope of work scope included Ex works (EXW), Glaube had to coordinate with airport authorities, shipper, origin agent, and the airline to make sure everything was well aligned before the arrival of the flight at the port of loading to avoid any penalty/detention.
