PRESENTATION OBJECTIVES Brief Introduction to Aergo
Typical Air Cargo Projects -sources of project air cargo charters and in particular ‘outsize’
cargo
- global trends for project cargo
- types of aircraft used and their availability
Steps toward execution of successful air charter projects - common hurdles
- important steps to perform well
- is there a more effective substitute for an on ground presence?
Current challenges to global air charter services
Introduction to AERgO
Established in 2004
Divisions - Passenger (Fly in Fly out, VIP’s, Sports Groups, Disaster Relief)
- Freight
- Government
On track to complete approximately 950 air charters across both divisions in 2013.
Over 25% of charters are for freight.
Our Objectives
Maximize client value for every dollar expended on air-kilometres for charter services.
How do we pursue this goal? Identify opportunities for shared sectors or empty sectors.
Maximise utilisation of aircraft (choosing the right option), select the best fit for purpose aircraft to suit the job at hand.
Remove interfaces and gaps between relevant project participants
Typical Air Cargo Projects Sources of project air charters and in particular, outsize cargo
Military support
Oil & Gas
Mining
Humanitarian Aid
Disaster Relief
Livestock
Sports/Band Equipment (F1, Rock bands etc)
Typical Air Cargo Projects cont…..
Global trends for outsize air cargo project movements • Decreased Military involvement in Afghanistan • New areas for natural resource projects
• Mongolia • South America (Chile – largest copper mine in the world) • Africa (comparably low cost of labour)
• Increased manufacturing in developing nations • Decentralization of global organizations • Continued support of Oil & Gas projects
Typical Air Charter Projects cont….
Types of aircraft available
Antonov AN-225

Steps Toward Execution of Successful Air Charter Projects Common hurdles
Landing permits
Overflight permissions
Unsuitable load configuration
Delayed manufacturing completion
Problems with road transport permits/ availability of suitable carriers and equipment
Airside access
Airport cargo screening delays
Paperwork!
Steps Toward Execution of Successful Air Charter Projects cont….. Important steps to perform well project plan
assembling team to work with
Constant communication with all interested parties, most importantly the client
back up contingencies
triple checking process arrangements with project participants
looking for possible obstacles in advance
timezone differences
local contacts (with all relevant parties)
Steps Toward Execution of Successful Air Charter Projects cont….. Is there a more effective substitute for on ground
representation? We would argue that there isn’t!
Provided you have an experienced and forward thinking representative on the ground, following each step of the process, the resulting smoothness and efficiency is proven.
Current Challenges to Air Charter Services Relocation of manufacturing operations to global locations
with limited support infrastructure for air project cargo.
Immigration/Visa rules and timeframes.
Overfly permits and other local government regulation.
Aircraft availability.
Conclusion Air Charter is a capital intensive option to move heavy
or outsize cargo.
To make it a more regular choice for companies considering their logistics options, all industry participants need to improve their operational performance BY REMOVING THE GAPS.
