Handling time critical, complex COVID-19 related shipment requests

Working closely and in partnership with organisations like Ligentia, we were able to charter the 767 Freighter at a time of peak demand in the industry. Equipped with powered cargo-handling equipment, both on the main deck and in lower holds, the Boeing 767 Freighter provided complete automation of the cargo-loading process, making the cargo handling easy and efficient.
