ALBION UPLIFTS TELECOMMUNICATION EQUIPMENT TO AFRICA

The Albion cargo team recently uplifted an urgent shipment of telecommunication equipment to Lagos, Nigeria.  The shipment consisted of 550 skids, with a combined payload of 87,700kg/495bm.  Due to the high payload of this shipment a B777F was chosen as the preferred aircraft type for this flight.  The B777F is a twin engine, widebody freighter aircraft and its combination of superior range and outstanding fuel efficiency makes it a very popular and competitively priced aircraft in the ad-hoc cargo charter market.  The Albion cargo team positioned one of its experienced Flight Managers to oversee the cargo handover at the departure airport.  The charter flight was a success departing on time without any delay, so as to ensure that the cargo met its tight delivery deadline into Lagos, Nigeria.
