ANTONOV Airlines is working with Air Partner to provide an urgent AOG cargo charter solution to move an oversized aircraft engine and tooling from Luxembourg to Lajes, Portugal, on board an AN-124-100M aircraft, reports AJOT.
The cargo weighed 75 tonnes, including an aero engine, and was loaded and offloaded on board the AN-124-100 using OPTG-120M loading equipment and an external crane.
Afterward, the AN-124-100 was flown to Stansted airport with the unserviceable engine, empty stand, and mobile crane onboard.
'It was a very interesting and unusual project. Challenges we met during this transportation kept all the teams on a little stress,' said antonov Airlines commercial executive Serhii Bilozerov.
Said Freight US, Air Partner vice president Jack Burt: 'Air Partner can access any size cargo aircraft to solve any size logistical issue. The Antonov AN-124-100 aircraft was ideal for this charter flight, and the service provided by the Antonov airlines staff and crew was world-class. We are proud to have worked with such great partners and delivered such a great product for our client with this project flight.'
