Very international charter operation
The Hong-Kong-based U-Freight Group chartered a reconfigured Russian passenger aircraft to airfreight over 2,000 cartons of urgently needed PPE from China to the USA. The client, one of the world's largest manufacturers and distributors of quality laboratory equipment and supplies, had purchased epidemic prevention materials from five different manufacturers in China.
U-Freight's Chinese network was deployed to collect and deliver the products for consolidation at its logistics hub in Beijing. The local office also prepared all export customs documents and undertook quality inspections. In New York, U-Freight America assisted with expedited customs clearance of all 2,186 cartons, which was important as all the consignee's logistics staff were in quarantine at home when the cargo arrived at JFK.
