Our client had purchased the Lexus as a gift for his daughter and needed it delivered to her.
Flying a luxury car to its new owner
Our cargo experts were tasked with transporting a luxury SUV weighing nearly three-and-a-half tonnes from the United States to Nigeria. The customer had purchased the brand-new Lexus as a gift for his daughter and wanted it delivered to her as soon as possible. We got to work on a seamless solution for the outsized shipment.
Our Solution
Route: New York City > Liège > Lagos
Service: Part-charter
We confirmed a solution within a few hours, opting for a scheduled service followed by a dedicated aircraft charter. Liaising with operators, we secured space for the cargo on a flight to Belgium and arranged a dedicated aircraft charter for the rest of the journey to Nigeria.
The car was loaded using a main deck loader before departing the United States. Touching down in Belgium, it was then transferred to a Boeing 747F for the second leg of the journey, with our team liaising closely with both airlines to coordinate a smooth handover.
The Finer Details
Flight Representation: A member of our team visited the departure airport to ensure the car was successfully cleared for export.
