Flight delay in China

The huge metropolitan city of Shanghai is a major hub in China and nearby Pudong Airport (PVG) sees countless passengers arriving and departing 365 days of the year. With a non-stop flight, travelers are to be transported directly from Shanghai (PVG) to New York (EWR).

However, the aeronautics engineers in charge have discovered a problem with the APU, an auxiliary engine responsible for onboard electronics, among other things. To switch out the corresponding FADEC, the right spare part has to be shipped from the U.S. to Shanghai as quickly as possible.

The airline uses the airmates platform to put together an emergency courier offer for hand-carry transport. Within just a minute, they receive a customized transport solution with binding prices.

Just an hour after booking, the chosen courier has already picked up the spare part from the manufacturer and is making his way to the airport. He takes the next flight to bring the extremely urgent shipment to China, immediately delivering it to the customer upon arriving at Pudong Airport (PVG). The airline is relieved. Thanks to this quick delivery, delays have been averted and the costs associated with such a delay are kept in check.

From Germany to Buenos Aires

A German consulting firm is engaged in a lively exchange with industry colleagues in Buenos Aires. It would be highly advantageous for the company to enter into cooperation with partners in Argentinia’s major metropolitan hub. After the negotiations end in success, all that is needed is for the contracts to be signed by hand, but the German consultants are unable to personally bring the confidential documents to Argentinia because of scheduling conflicts.

However, as other companies are vying for the potential partner’s favor, time is of the essence. The solution: Secure document shipping with a flight courier from time:matters! After sending a request through our online platform, the consultants receive a tailored air courier quote in less than a minute and book it directly in just a few clicks. Within an hour, the confidential documents have been picked up from the company in Frankfurt and are making their way directly to the airport (FRA) with an emergency courier. After just 19 hours, the urgent documents arrive at Buenos Aires’ Ministro Pistarini International Airport (EZE) and no valuable time is lost because the extremely urgent transport has been carried by hand. In different circumstances, the deal would likely have gone south, but our courier personally accompanies the contracts and brings them to the company’s new business partners. Thanks to time:matters, the contract signing goes through without a hitch.

Flight Courier to Africa – Confidential documents to Cairo

Because of its convenient location, Cairo became an important hub for trade from an early stage, with many international automotive companies today manufacturing their goods in the metropolitan area of the Egyptian capital. One of the vehicle manufacturers wants to start producing a new model in Cairo and has been working hard on preparations for weeks. Shortly before production is set to start he receives the shock of his life: Some documents with the vehicle specifications (still confidential!) for the new series are not there, threatening to push back the start of production. To prevent incurring high costs due to a delay, the missing documents need to be delivered as quickly as possible. Because this important internal information must not fall into the wrong hands, sending the documents digitally is not secure enough for the company. The manager in charge refers to the time:matters OBC platform and quickly and easily books the documents to be shipped by an On Board Courier.

In less than a minute he receives a tailored offer, which he can then book directly. One of our carefully trained couriers immediately gets going to pick up the documents from the customer on site. He takes the next available flight to Cairo with the urgent shipment, never letting it out of his sight throughout the entire trip. After just 14 hours, the flight courier lands at Cairo International Airport (CAI) and transports the confidential documents to his client, taking the quickest route so production can start on time.

As the largest city in Australia and the capital city of New South Wales, Sydney is a hub for many tourists and globetrotters. One of the many attractions and the city’s most famous landmark is the Sydney Opera House, which stands out for its sail-like design, right on the waterfront. Every year, countless visitors from around the world flock to Sydney to see one of the world-famous opera house performances. This year, a famous ensemble from the United States has been given the opportunity to take the stage as part of a guest appearance. But during their first rehearsal after arriving in Australia, one of the orchestra members realizes she is missing her instrument. The musician’s clarinet has to be shipped as soon as possible so as not to put the concert in jeopardy.

The big concert is set to take place in just two days. How can the musician possibly get her instrument to Australia in such a short period of time with it still sitting in the New York Philharmonic? Our On Board Courier service can help: Via the user-friendly online platform, orchestra management send a request and receives a Flight Courier quote back in less than a minute. After confirming the booking directly, one of our urgent couriers makes their way to the pick-up address. He then boards the next available flight and lands at Kingsford Smith International Airport in Sydney (SYD) after flying for less than 21 hours. The urgently needed clarinet is delivered to the orchestra with enough time to spare for one last rehearsal.

Next Stop: Big Apple

Many people are familiar with the usual process for taking a flight: Arrive at the airport 2 hours before check-in, then go through security and find your way to the right gate. This often results in long wait times and you may be asking how flight couriers can deliver so quickly in the face of all these obstacles – especially the strict immigration controls in the US.

Successful applicants for these programs benefit from faster entry into the US, allowing our same day couriers to provide the best possible delivery times for your extremely urgent shipments.

To Istanbul by OBC in a matter of hours

A high-ranking politician is in the major Turkish city of Istanbul as part of an official visit to discuss important matters with his Turkish counterpart. During his stay, he suddenly finds himself in discomfort, which is ultimately due to the chronic illness he is suffering from. Because his visit was only meant to last for two days, the politician didn’t bring a large supply of his medicine. However when he starts feeling increasingly worse, he has to be taken to the nearest hospital. The doctors there are unable to provide him with the special combination of medication he usually takes. He now needs to get the medicine from Germany as quickly as possible. The acute nature of this emergency means quick action is needed: The patient’s wife is informed and she books urgent transport with an On Board Courier in just a few clicks.

Within just 13 hours, the patient receives his medication on time and is able to return to Germany a few days later

OBC Australia – Logistical emergency in Auckland

An office complex is being built near Auckland. Time is pressing – the construction company has promised its client in its contract that the project will be finished within a tight deadline. But a huge shock comes shortly before construction is set to begin: One of the diggers to be used to dig the ditch for the foundation is broken and cannot be used as planned. A spare part is needed from the U.S. to fix it, but what is the best way to transport it around the globe as quickly as possible?

time:matters has the solution: With just a few clicks on our OBC platform, the contractor provides us with the key details of his urgent transport, receiving a customized On Board Courier offer back in less than a minute.

Transporting the part as carry-on luggage means the courier is able to go directly to the construction site once the plane lands since he doesn’t have to wait for the checked baggage to be unloaded. The eagerly awaited machine part is immediately installed on site. The contractor is relieved. He can now meet his target for finishing the office complex on time.
