THE SITUATION
In northernmost reaches of United States, where logistics infrastructure is limited, is Anchorage, Alaska. This isolated city was scheduled to experience the magic of Broadway with a visit from the iconic musical “Hamilton”. The logistics challenge was daunting, involving the seamless coordination of wardrobe, set props, stage equipment, scenery, and production equipment, all filling an entire B767-300 Freighter aircraft.
To make this theatrical event a reality, Broadway Alaska needed a logistics partner that could deliver not only the cargo but also the promise of a flawless performance. Enter Green Worldwide Shipping’s Time Critical team of air cargo experts, led by Director of Operations, Troy Rybandt.
AIR CHARTER SOLUTION
Handling logistics for a traveling Broadway show is not a straightforward task. It’s about ensuring that every piece of the intricate set and sound pieces arrive in pristine condition, ready to contribute to the magic on stage. Recognizing the short timeline and magnitude of the task at hand, Green Worldwide Shipping designed an airfreight charter plan to move the Broadway show cargo from Kansas City International Airport to Anchorage International Airport. The team chose an air charter to ensure a dedicated cargo plane was available to transport the props and stage pieces. With just a few days to execute, precision and careful handling were paramount. Green Worldwide Shipping’s experience in handling time critical challenges allowed the team to navigate potential hurdles with ease. This operation showcased the company’s commitment to the care and handling of all cargo, even those that go beyond the conventional shipping experience.
