Visitors to LABACE 2015 leaving the exhibit tent for the static display area pass between a semi trailer bearing a helicopter cocooned in protective plastic, as well as a transport container holding an office. Both bear the logo of international logistics firm AGS. Valerie Bittencourt of AGS explained to AIN: “The aircraft trailer was recently built by AGS, and it’s the only one, and only AGS has one. Already we’ve had demand for it, though.”

 


AGS handles overseas transportation, so that a customer can purchase an aircraft overseas, and have it shipped by sea and transported by road to an airfield, without putting any cycles on the aircraft or having to worry about insuring it for a ferry flight. Special transport is available for parts as well as full aircraft.

 


The company helps clients such as Helibras, which transports large parts such as rotors by sea to Brazil, and then by road to its logistics center in Atibaia, to eventually move by road to where needed. It also handles aircraft-on-ground situations. “We can bring anything, from wherever it is, by sea, and by road, and in Europe at least, by rail.”

News and developments about airplanes, helicopters and unmanned air vehicles used in all varieties of operations, including airlines, military, business, commercial, general aviation and private.
