AGL Angola exports a helicopter weighing more than 6 tons to France
On August 22, 2024, the teams of Africa Global Logistics (AGL) Angola successfully exported to France a giant helicopter of more than 6T with heavy transport capabilities. Compliant with the safety standards of the oil & gas sector, this helicopter is intended for crew transfers to offshore platforms.
AGL’s teams mobilised a 70-tonne crane which made it possible to load it onto a special low-loader truck. They then ensured the safe transfer of the oversized convoy to the port of Luanda where it was loaded for Europe.
