Emergency Air Freight: Medical Devices from Germany to London in 24 Hours
A leading NHS supplier needed critical diagnostic equipment shipped from Frankfurt to London overnight after a last-minute hospital contract win.
The Challenge
The client had 18 hours to deliver high-value diagnostic imaging equipment from their manufacturer in Frankfurt to three London hospitals. Standard freight channels were too slow and the equipment required specialist handling documentation.
Our Solution
ASA Logistics arranged a Next Flight Out (NFO) air freight shipment via Frankfurt Airport to Heathrow, coordinating bonded customs clearance and direct hospital delivery with a temperature-monitored tail-lift vehicle.
The Outcome
All three hospital deliveries were completed within 22 hours of the initial enquiry, allowing the NHS trust to meet their contract obligations. Zero damage reported and full compliance with medical device transport regulations.
