The challenge
Three complete rotary-wing airframes is a load-planning problem before it is a freight problem. The An-124's capacity is finite, the airframes must be prepared and configured to fit, and the loading sequence determines whether all three make the lift or only two do.
Layered on top: USML-controlled cargo, a foreign military end user, a manufacturer with its own delivery obligations, and a single chartered aircraft whose cost per hour makes every ramp delay expensive.
Our approach
We coordinated directly with Sikorsky on airframe preparation and with the Jordanian Air Force on receipt, so the delivery configuration was agreed before the aircraft was chartered.
Export documentation and customs clearance were completed ahead of the ramp date, removing the most common source of charter standby cost.
Loading was managed on site, with the sequence planned against the An-124's floor loading and the airframes' dimensions.
The outcome
All three UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters were delivered to Amman in a single compliant lift, with export documentation secured and customs cleared on both ends.
The movement anchors FSG's heavy-lift and rotary-wing practice and its UH-60 platform support capability.
