Air Charter Service Moscow has assisted an Italian construction company with an IL-76 charter for two heavy duty drilling vehicles for a works project in East Africa.
The equipment had been produced on the Adriatic coast and was urgently required by the construction team based out of Addis Ababa. No western aircraft was able to carry the vehicles each measuring over 3 metres in both height and width, and weighing around 16 tonnes.
Vladimir Romanenko identified the IL-76 as the most suitable for transporting the drilling equipment and immediately bore his way into getting the permissions needed to make the charter happen to schedule.
Noise restrictions eliminated the possibility of Italian departure and time was too tight to carry the cargo to Bratislava. However, Vladimir negotiated the use of Pula airport, receiving the necessary permissions from the CAA of Croatia.
The successful operation was completed in less than 24 hours, including trucking to Pula, customs clearance and the charter flight.
