Not only flowers from Colombia to Amsterdam
L&L International de Colombia has reported a recent collaboration with Eastway Global Forwarding, its Irish partner in the UFO network, for the air shipment of two aircraft engines.
Each engine had a gross weight of 13.1 t and dimensions of 4.9 x 3.2 x 2.98 m. The shipments from Bogota to Amsterdam took place earlier this month.
L&L’s Emiliano Leal Acevedo said that “we faced complications with the first shipment, due to the current situation in Colombia, repairs to the base that the shipper had to arrange before the airline would accept the engine, warehousing issues and additional last-minute documentation and inspection. We liaised with the airline operations manager who helped us to ensure the engine would fly on our new booking date. The second engine was shipped out more easily.” (ah)
