Volga-Dnepr flies 16-metre prop shaft to stricken ship in Brazil
RUSSIA's Volga-Dnepr Airlines' Engineering & Logistics Centre (ELC), sped into action to complete the urgent delivery of a 40-ton propeller shaft for a ship in Brazil, the company revealed.
The 16-metre spare part was secured inside a special transport frame and loaded onboard one of Volga-Dnepr's IL-76TD-90VD freighters using a trailer and cranes.
The flight from Laage in Germany to Florianopolis, Brazil, was operated on behalf of leading Norwegian broker Aircontact Services, reported the American Journal of Transportation.
"This was an especially urgent shipment that was needed in Brazil to repair a stricken ship," said Volga-Dnepr UK sales chief Georgy Sokolov.
"After the request was received all of the preparation work was completed while we waited for the customer to confirm the exact shipment date," Mr Sokolov said.
"We were able to obtain all the required flight permissions from Germany, Brazil and countries along the route within 48 hours," he said.
"This enabled us to operate the flight quickly and ensure the ship was fully operational again within the shortest possible timescale," he said.
