An inside story
AOC Logistics made arrangements for the transportation of a 45 metric ton Transformer Body, purchased from the UK, to Dammam airport by airfreight on September 20, 2009.
Due to the size and weight of the body no commercial liner aircraft could take the load. A charter flight was therefore arranged by AOC logistics using one of the largest aircraft in the world, the Antonov-124, which enabled on-time delivery of this critical equipment.
