For the first time, the race started outside of Italy with individual time trials for riders in Jerusalem. In total, CLA transported 1,263 pieces of cargo — including bicycles and equipment used by the supporting teams — onboard a Boeing 747-8F charter flight from Milan Malpensa.
CargoLogicAir has been a regular all-cargo operator to and from Israel since Q4 2017, when it launched a weekly Tel Aviv service providing a direct link with Europe and connecting services to the Americas and Asia Pacific.
Sonigo International Shipping, Packing & Moving, the logistics company coordinating the start of the 2018 race, joined forces with freight-forwarding company Vector and cargo handler Alha Group to ensure all of the strict timelines as well as complex preparation and transportation processes were successfully met.
Meeting the delivery deadline required close coordination among the CargoLogicAir, Vector and Alha teams. Due to the stringent security measures and the value of the bikes and equipment being transported, the project required an operational commitment involving more than 65 staff and 23 trucks.
Following the time trials, the bikes and equipment were returned to Italy for the Catania and Caltagirone stage of the Giro d’Italia. The race will end in Italy on May 24.
