Case study \u2013 Air charter: An automotive supplier based in northern France called Air Time Critical\u00ae<\/a> on 28 November to have a pallet of car parts shipped from their supplier near Turin, Italy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Customer challenge \u2013 Covering 1,000 km in 9 hours<\/strong>: The customer requested an urgent delivery at 11:00. The goods had to be delivered in France the same day before 23:59, but they would not be ready before 15:00 in Italy. This left less than 9 hours to cover the 1,000 km from Turin to the French consignee \u2013 an impossible deadline by road.
