A vehicle manufacturer which routinely vessels a corridor from a point of origin in Serbia to a product installation in South Africa was passing substantial detainments along its usual route and called on Priority Freight to guarantee delivery.
This regular payload generally involves road transport from the Serbian plant to Amsterdam Schiphol Airport where the goods are also flown to O.R. Tambo International Airport.
Still, issues at the Serbian-Hungarian border meant the goods would be delayed and potentially halt South African products.
Priority Freight was called by the manufacturer and also formed a response platoon to come up with indispensable shipping styles, and arrange the delivery of 890 kg of the corridor to the South African Plant.
Rather than exit Serbia by road and face border detainments, the goods were taken to Belgrade field where they were loaded onto a staying ATR duty aircraft and flown to Oostende in Belgium. From there the corridor was transferred to another truck that drove to Amsterdam Schiphol field to meet a long-haul marketable weight flight bound for Johannesburg.
After 11 hours the weight flight landed at O.R. Tambo International Airport on Saturday evening, lower than 48 hours after the corridor was collected from Serbia.
A binary-mount Metro airplane also completed the final 600 country miles from Johannesburg to East London arriving at 0330 original times on Sunday morning, which left time for the goods to be disburdened and for the plant to recommence product the following day.
