Volga-Dnepr Airlines and forwarder Fracht FWO orchestrated the delivery of an 83-tonne boiler from Milan, Italy to Lincoln, Nebraska, for a power plant in Sioux City, Iowa. The move took almost two months of planning by European and US teams at both companies and design and production of a special cradle.
The flight lasted two days with tech stops in Liege, Keflavik, Gander and Bangor, the latter being included for smooth customs procedures. Â After landing at Nebraska, the equipment weighing over 93 tonnes was trucked to Iowa to be assembled.
