All hands on deck during football world cup

摘要

Whereas the specialist Russian Aviation Insider portal reported the lowest monthly passenger growth of the year at Russian airports in July of all monthly, the British broker Air Charter Service (ACS) called the football world cup its busiest event -also in the freight area. "We transported broadcasting equipment from one match venue to the next for a series of television stations," said group CEO Justin Bowman. ACS also received some unusual enquiries during the world's biggest sporting event. For instance, the freight team, which has offices both in St Petersburg as well as in Moscow, where the final was played, had to arrange the transport of the entire match equipment of one world cup participant, as the aircraft chartered for the team was already overloaded. The OBC team of ACS was tasked with taking care of several urgent document consignments. In Qatar in 2022, other means of transport will likely be used.
