The Logistics Plus (LP) Aero team successfully completed an urgent air charter project from St. John’s, Canada, to Georgetown, Guyana, on September 8th, 2024. The team was tasked with transporting oil production equipment for a key client in the oil industry. The air charter was swiftly organized using an AN-12 aircraft, chosen for its optimal capacity considering the cargo’s overall dimensions (533x255x186 CM) and weight (4250 kg) while also being the most cost-effective solution.
Despite the challenging weather conditions, the LP Aero™ team meticulously planned the operation, ensuring the cargo was delivered safely and on schedule. Photos from this project can be seen below.
