ACS flies luxury car into Mauritania

July 1, 2010 - PRLog -- Air Charter Service’s Dubai office recently flew an urgent luxury car from Qatar across Africa for an important embassy presentation.

ACS received a call to transport the Bentley Brooklands from Doha to Nouakchott in Mauritania. The car was a gift from the country to the Qatari embassy in Mauritania celebrating fifty years since it opened.

ACS swiftly concluded that the AN-12 aircraft would be ideal for the job, as it is a ramp loading aircraft, and the Bentley could simply be driven on. They contacted a number of operators in the region and settled on one based at Doha Airport itself. Once on board, the car was securely fastened and strapped down by its wheels to the aircraft floor.

It was safely delivered to the other side of Africa in Nouakchott less than 72 hours after receiving the initial request. The car was presented in a lavish ceremony, marking the embassy’s 50th anniversary.
