Compass Forwarding airlifts helicopter from Canada to Afghanistan
THIRD-GENERATION family-owned boutique forwarding company, Compass Forwarding, which is also an aerospace logistics pioneer, has airlifted a medium-sized utility helicopter from Canada to Afghanistan in support of a time-sensitive project.
The Bell 212 Twin Huey helicopter was flown in mid-October from Alberta via Boeing 747 freighter, arriving in Afghanistan two days ahead of schedule, the American Journal of Transportation reported.
New York-based Compass fielded a dedicated 24/7 aerospace support team to coordinate every step of the operation from palletisation and pickup through delivery in seamless cooperation with the exporter and aircraft owner. This included ensuring compliance with export control regulations in three countries. The team also provided daily briefings to all stakeholders in the shipment.
"Shipping aircraft is an important part of the 60+ year history of our family business," said Compass associate director Robert Shelala. "The fact that our team was able to deliver this ahead of schedule to a conflict zone is a testament not only to the team's skills and experience, but to our global capabilities."
