DACHSER charters world's largest cargo aircraft

DACHSER Air & Sea Logistics' international teams have chartered the world's largest cargo aircrafts, the Antonovs AN-124 and AN-225. The aircrafts transport medical goods from China to Austria on multiple occasions for a customer, after which DACHSER redistributed the goods through its overland network.

DACHSER Air & Sea Logistics' international teams have chartered the world's largest cargo aircrafts, the Antonovs AN-124 and AN-225.

On December 7, the Antonov An-225 landed late in the evening at Linz Airport in Hörsching, Austria. The freighter had departed two days earlier from Tianjin Airport in China. Taking into account the current Corona measures, the entire cargo was reloaded immediately after landing onto around 20 trucks from DACHSER European Logistics for further distribution.

This was just the start. Another seven flights with medical supplies are still expected in Linz from Tianjin and Chengdu. Their cargo will also be delivered to the customers again by DACHSER European Logistics after landing.

Teamwork and close cooperation make it possible

DACHSER benefits from its integrated network capabilities and can thus offer a complete solution from a single source. Major projects on this scale can only be implemented through coordinated, international cooperation between the air freight organizations and the involvement of DACHSER European Logistics.

The DACHSER Air network has become an elementary component in recent years and plays a central role in strategic air freight development. Even in times of crisis, DACHSER offers its customers a stable air freight network and creative, intelligent solutions.

Short update on the general situation in the transport sector

In the second half of the year, the corona pandemic is still the predominant topic in the media. While at the beginning of the pandemic new findings on Covid-19 were being announced almost daily and many updates were also published by DACHSER on loading restrictions in Europe as well as in America and APAC, something like a "new normality" has now returned.

At the moment, there are no longer any universal country or customer restrictions. We would therefore like to ask our customers to clarify individual restrictions such as closures, changed opening hours etc. with the recipients of the goods themselves. We are closely monitoring the further course of the corona pandemic and will keep you informed immediately of any developments. Should new loading restrictions be imposed, these will be published again via our website.

If you have any questions on this subject, please contact your local contact person at the respective DACHSER branch.
