9/19/2023

Project Overview

An Airline in Southeast Asia needed to move a five ton aircraft engine from Asia to Middle East for essential maintenance. They were looking for expertise in engine shipment to ensure safe and professional transportation from pick up to delivery.

Our customer’s business challenges

As a relatively new venture, the customer’s company needed a cost-effective solution. There was no freighter available at the location of the shipment. With multiple parties involved and the project changing scope, the customer needed to ensure they received effective and timely communication throughout the project.

The Transformation Story

We designed a hybrid solution at a competitive rate within CEVA’s network, which covered multiple methods of transport (including air, ocean and ground). We provided a dedicated project team, which specialized in transporting aviation materials. We created a customized route solution from Manila-Hong Kong, China-Israel following thorough analysis of the options. We ensured seamless alignment and end-to-end management, providing complete visibility to our customer via a web portal, which gave them the clarity and reassurance they needed.
