ZH_HK The second operation involved a project consignment for a major industrial customer in Qatar, requiring the movement of 15-metre pipes from Spain to Qatar.
The shipment consisted of 6 pieces weighing 22.4 tons. To ensure safe loading and off-loading, the team arranged a crane directly on the ramp at both Amsterdam and Dubai World Central airports, together with the necessary security clearances.
The operation was successfully delivered through the efforts of
- Mr. Glen Fernando – Sales Manager – Qatar
- Mr. Iker Loizaga – IP Projects Manager – Spain
- Mr. Abdul Aleem – Air Freight Manager – UAE
- Mr. Clinton Velho – Head of Road Freight – UAE
along with the support of ISS GF’s partner at Amsterdam Airport.
Reflecting on the operation, Mr. Dexter Fonseca, Global Head of Air Freight, said, “At the time, our direct-flight options were very limited. Qatar Airways was the only carrier who could operate with freighters due to airspace restrictions for foreign airlines but their aircraft could not accept the cargo.
So, we had to think differently. Together with our teams in Qatar, Spain, and the UAE, we built a multimodal solution that combined trucking from the shipper to Amsterdam covering 1,500 kms, uplift on a part-charter B747F freighter from our partner airline Emirates, with nose-door capability into Dubai World Central, and onward trucking from the UAE to Qatar.
It may sound like the solution was already there when I explain it now, but in reality, it took a lot of technical assessment, coordination, and ownership from everyone involved to make sure the shipment moved safely and on time. I am very proud of the teams who rose to the occasion and made this solution a success.”
In a market marked by disruption, this is how ISS GF creates value – not only by finding capacity, but by engineering practical solutions when conventional options are limited. These successful charters reinforce ISS GF’s position as a responsive, technically capable, and reliable logistics partner for complex and time-critical cargo movements.
