With our extensive experience moving outsize and heavy loads by air and working in remote and challenging locations around the world – IAS has become a specialist in moving large-scale Project Cargo via air charter.
Over the years we have been involved in several long-term airlift movements such as the Kabul Powerplant Project which involved moving a 100 MW power station weighing 5,800 tonnes from Sharjah to Kabul using seventy two AN-124 charters plus thirty eight IL-76TD flights. This included the airlift of eighteen diesel engines weighing 84500 kilos each which required very specialized handling at both origin and destination.
Other large-scale movements include the Iraq Currency Exchange Project involving the airlift of 3,400 tonnes of banknotes to the Central Bank of Iraq under tight security conditions, as well as several humanitarian disaster-relief operations in Africa, the Far East and the Caribbean, a long-term food distribution program in Afghanistan and an air bridge of components for an automotive manufacturer from Europe to the USA.
