In May 2014 Aircontact organized two flights for the Finnish military from Finland to the Central African Republic. When the tender came out it looked like it had been tailor made for the AN-124 and that all other solutions wouldn´t work due to the volume and weight of the cargo. But by turning every piece around in our heads and on paper, in tight coordination with the airline´s load master team, we found a way to fit all the cargo in an Il-76 and a Boeing 747-400F. By packing everything tightly enough we could even fit more cargo, so the client was able to send more than originally planned. This saved the client for nearly EUR 300.000,- in stead of going by the obvious AN-124 solution.

A few obstacles occurred on the way into CAR, but thanks to Saudia Cargo and Transavia Export we delivered the cargo and the couriers safely in the operational theatre.
