Air Charter Service’s Richard Thompson has arranged the charter of a IL-76 loaded with land mine clearance machinery for southern Sudan where large humanitarian and regeneration programmes are currently underway.
An organisation involved in the project contacted Air Charter Service to organise the transportation of a land mine clearance vehicle, Land Rovers and trailers from the north of France to Juba, Sudan.
Richard Thompson arranged for the 30 tonne load to be flown on an IL-76 aircraft which is well suited for the transportation of vehicles and outsize machinery. The charter ran smoothly, taking 10 hours to reach its destination including a fuel stop in Libya.
The equipment will be put to immediate use clearing agricultural land littered with mines which are a major problem for the local population.
The US-based agency, Human Rights Watch estimate that there are 110 million mines are spread in 64 counties world wide. Landmines maim or kill between 1,000 to 2,000 people per month, most of whom are innocent civilians.
