The longest cargo pieces ever moved by air – two brand new 42.1m long wind turbine blades – have just made their way from China to Denmark aboard the giant Antonov AN-225, the biggest aircraft in the world. The intricate move was managed by logistics major Geodis Wilson for LM Wind Power and involved a full turn-key operation. This included inland transportation from the LM Wind Power manufacturing plant in Tianjin to Tianjin Airport, China, loading onto the AN-225, customs clearance, supervision of unloading and final delivery from the Skrydstrup Vojens Danish Military Airport (SKS), the only Danish airport capable of handling this large move. The two prototype blades were produced for a new type of wind turbine that promotes efficient generation of clean energy.
