Vantage Logistics Successfully Executes Oversized Air Cargo Shipment via Dedicated Freighter Aircraft

Vantage Logistics has completed the air transportation of an oversized high-tech equipment shipment from Tan Son Nhat International Airport to Taipei, utilising a dedicated cargo aircraft and fully complying with PMC pallet loading requirements and international aviation handling standards.

Air Shipment Details:

Commodity: High-tech equipment – IRIS S optical measurement and inspection system
Weight & Dimensions:
- 2 PTLS // GW 1,568 kg // DIMS 1 × 0.5 × 0.5 m (1); 2.4 × 1.9 × 2.5 m (1)
- 2 PLTS // GW 1,578 kg // DIMS 1 × 0.5 × 0.5 m (1); 2.4 × 1.9 × 2.5 m (1)
Airport of Loading (AOL): Tan Son Nhat, Viet Nam
Airport of Destination (AOD): Taipei, Taiwan

The cargo was packed in custom-built wooden crates in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications. With individual pallet dimensions reaching up to 238 x 191 x 248 cm, the shipment exceeded passenger aircraft limits and therefore required a specialised airfreight solution.

Handling a “Non-Standard” Air Cargo Requirement

Faced with oversized, high-value technology equipment, the Vantage Logistics team developed a transport plan focused on safety, schedule certainty, and airline compliance. Key measures included:

Assigning a freighter aircraft for the entire oversized shipment
Engineering a PMC pallet loading plan aligned with aircraft weight and dimensional constraints
Standardising technical cargo descriptions, HS codes, and documentation to accelerate airline approval
Maintaining end-to-end control from packing, warehouse delivery, and aircraft loading through to final handover in Taipei

Through coordinated execution and strict process control, the shipment was delivered on schedule and met all technical and operational requirements.
