Operation highlights
Our team of experts in the Automotive Industry have a deep knowledge of the sector and updated information on the best multimodal transport solutions available; thus, they came to a plan that contemplated consolidating the cargo to meet our client’s delivery times needs and having xpd global’s own teams in the main airports of the two countries.
Our client
A very important global organization that has the future of the automotive industry in motion, developing five dynamic and powerful business areas to unite products and technologies that belong together.
The challenge
To avoid line stoppages, our client needed a large amount of material transported in a short time, with very precise delivery dates.
The solution
Our dedicated team at Mexico City’s Felipe Ángeles International Airport (AIFA, IATA: NLU) was in person – along with experts in operations from xpd global Automobility – in the warehouse to review packaging, consolidations, stowage, release procedures and timing, in a precise team work with our client’s customs brokers.
From day one, we negotiated cargo consolidations on the most appropriate flights to meet our client’s specific needs, ensuring:
- Guaranteed space
- No fare variation
- Direct routes
To ensure accuracy in delivery times, our Air Freight and xpd global Automobility teams from Guadalajara were also brought to the operations, to facilitate some of the ground movements and ensure the project’s success.
