Expert cargo team safely delivers urgent 777 engine at London Heathrow

23 August 2023

Our colleagues specialising in cargo handling are highly trained and experienced in providing solutions for the most sensitive and precious items. This was put to the test at London Heathrow (LHR) recently when the team was asked to oversee the shipment of an urgent replacement 777 engine.

With just 48 hours to prepare, the team led by Jose Maia including Mark Anthony Hall, Steven Clark, Brian Woods and Julien Tenorang successfully and safely offloaded the freight onboard, assisting with a seamless transition from aircraft to ground, before its transportation to a nearby hangar.

A big thank you to the team for their efforts, helping to deliver this very special cargo safely and efficiently!

Did you know… The Rolls-Royce Trent 800 engine is the lightest 777 engine, weighing 6.078t (13,400lb). It’s more than nine feet in diameter, almost 15 feet in length and features 26 wide chord titanium fan blades.
