We were asked by a freight forwarder to help fly a boat from Australia to an exhibition in the United States.
Flying a boat to an exhibition in America
In June 2022, a freight forwarder asked us to help transport a boat prototype from Australia to an exhibition in the United States where it was being showcased. The client had originally planned to transport the cargo by sea freight, but delays meant an alternative solution was needed to ensure the boat arrived in time for the event. Our team sprung into action to arrange this complex part charter.
Our Solution
Route: Brisbane > Sydney > Hong Kong > Chicago
Aircraft: Boeing B747
We sourced a Boeing B747 that could be positioned to Sydney for the flight, before arranging for the boat to be trucked in from Brisbane and loaded onboard.
The part charter saved vulnerable time and ensured the cargo made it to the exhibition ahead of the deadline.
