Logistics Plus Completes Steam Turbine Air Charter

Logistics Plus Completes Steam Turbine Air Charter

The Logistics Plus Project Cargo team completed an air charter project from Brno, Czech Republic, to Karaman, Turkey. Our team handled a 72 metric ton (158,730 lbs.) steam turbine and its accessories using an AN-124 aircraft specifically designed to handle oversized cargo. The cargo was transported from Brno airport to Istanbul airport and ultimately safely delivered to the job site in Turkey by truck.

Logistics Plus Global Projects Director Bahadir Erdil commented on this project. “This air charter took an extreme amount of teamwork to complete. By constantly communicating with all parties involved, we were able to get the job done efficiently. I couldn’t be more proud.”
