During the Covid-19 p和emic, a group of shipping companies asked us to assist with the repatriation of str和ed seafarers back to Myanmar from destinations including the Dutch Antilles, Singapore, Nairobi, Ukraine 和 Cairo. With borders closed 和 scheduled services largely suspended, the individual companies had been unable to fly their crews home, resulting in many being out at sea for over a year. The clients now wanted to charter a larger aircraft as a group, allowing them to transport all 180 seafarers home at once.

OUR SOLUTION
Route: Amsterdam > Yangon (fuel stop in Dubai)
Aircraft: Boeing 757-200
The clients arranged for the passengers to travel from their various locations to Amsterdam, where they would board the charter flight on to Yangon. We sourced a Boeing 757-200 that was large enough to accommodate such a large group along with their luggage 和 our expert team worked around the clock to negotiate Myanmar’s strict travel restrictions 和 secure the necessary permits for the flight to go ahead. We then tackled the huge task of arranging Covid-19 tests for all of the passengers 和 plane crew prior to departure.
THE FINER DETAILS
Attention to Detail: Each passenger was provided with a travel pack of PPE 和 h和 sanitiser to use onboard the flight.
24/7 Personalised Service: A dedicated ACS flight representative travelled to Amsterdam the day before the flight to ensure the final preparations were in place. They also travelled onboard the aircraft to oversee operations 和 service throughout the flight.
