Specialists in providing solutions for all Cargo Charter enquiries, Air Charter International once again managed to resolve a difficult situation with their extensive industry knowledge and experience.
With this in mind, a leading petroleum company approached the sales team at Air Charter International to help source an Aircraft to carry 5750 Kg of explosives to Dushanbe in Tajikistan. The enquiry was received in mid august after the client had attempted to resolve the matter on their own and brought the transport of this sensitive Cargo to Air Charter International’s attention after all other means had been exhausted.
With the complicated task ahead of being able to solve this enquiry, ACI also had the difficult mission of transporting explosives from America over a tense Middle East airspace. The explosives were meant to be used to dislodge tonnes of oil and gas equipment stuck in the client’s oil wells in Tajikistan. Although the nature of the transport of the explosives were in no way for military services, the simple fact that these dangerous goods were from America made it hostile to certain regions in the Middle East.
The original flight was to take the Cargo from Houston to Luxembourg, then over to Iran and finally Dushanbe. However, due to the many restrictions for American Cargo over Iran airspace, an alternative route had to be found.
The Air Charter sales team finally managed to transport the Cargo via Sharjah onboard an IL 76 with minimal stops.
After almost two months of planning and coordination, Air Charter International managed to do what other aviation providers failed to accomplish and made sure that the dangerous goods were safely and efficiently transported to the destination.
