DACHSER charters the world's largest cargo aircraft

DACHSER Air & Sea Logistics' international teams have chartered the world's largest cargo aircrafts, the Antonov AN-225 and AN-124. The aircrafts transport medical goods from China to Austria on multiple occasions for a customer, after which DACHSER redistributed the goods through its overland network.

Cargoes were being unloaded from the world's largest cargo aircraft, Antonov AN-225, and brought on to the DACHSER European Logistics trucks awaiting at Linz Airport.

On December 7, the Antonov An-225 landed late in the evening at Linz Airport in Hörsching, Austria. The freighter had departed from Tianjin Airport in China. Taking into account the current Corona measures, the entire cargo was reloaded immediately after landing, onto some 20 trucks from DACHSER European Logistics for further distribution.

This was just the start. More flights will be landed in Linz from Tianjin and Chengdu bringing medical supplies to be delivered to the customer by DACHSER European Logistics after landing.

Teamwork and close cooperation make it possible

DACHSER benefits from its integrated network capabilities and can thus offer a complete solution from a single source. Major projects on this scale can only be implemented through coordinated, international collaboration between the air freight organizations and the involvement of DACHSER European Logistics.

The DACHSER Air network has become an elementary component in recent years and plays a central role in strategic air freight development. Even in times of crisis, DACHSER offers its customers a stable air freight network and creative, intelligent solutions.

Brexit – what does it mean for Air & Sea Logistics?

We face the possible event that the United Kingdom will leave the European Union by the end of October 2019.

This will affect shipments from and to the UK and delays are to be expected. Reasons are amongst others that a higher percentage of shipments has to be processed by customs authorities and that European shippers might switch to Air Freight to avoid border controls.

We expect delays particularly for shipments that do not move into the UK directly or out of the UK directly but via continental Europe. For example if Sea Freight shipments are unloaded in Rotterdam and then forwarded to the UK via truck and ferry:

  • Fiscal representation in continental Europe will no longer be possible for goods to the UK. Instead, a transit procedure must be opened.
  • The expected problems in Calais/Dover will cause delays in the delivery of goods to the UK.
  • Incoterms for subsequent deliveries from the EU to the UK may also have to be converted if necessary, as costs for customs clearance have to be included.

Therefore we strongly suggest to ship directly to the UK whenever possible, at least for some time following the Brexit until things clear up.

In addition to that, you can also find a “Brexit checklist” here.
