    CASE STUDY

    DELIVERING LUXURY CARS VIA AIR FREIGHT 

    Our Freight Forwarding team managed the seamless transport of 31 Mercedes‑Maybach vehicles from the Sindelfingen factory in Germany to Vientiane, Laos, in time for the 2024 ASEAN Summit. Destined for Laos, DP World had the capability to fly direct due to our local customs clearance capabilities.

     

    The team coordinated enclosed trucking to Liège Airport, selected for its cost‑effectiveness, and arranged two charter flights directly to Laos. From meticulous customs clearance to secure handling, every step was transparently executed. 

     

    The flawless delivery not only exceeded client expectations but also earned us a place among Mercedes‑Benz’s top five freight partners, showcasing its end‑to‑end capability with high‑value cargo.
