Altitude™ CHALLENGE
Pallets dwelling 9 days at the cargo terminal, storage fees eating the margin on every kilo. Declarations were filed after landing, handlers nominated late, and recovery slots went to whoever shouted loudest.
SOLUTION
Pre-clearance paperwork filed while aircraft were still airborne, night-time recovery to a bonded buffer and charter backup for the urgent leg south. One dashboard tracked dwell per airwaybill, per week — and the number got a weekly owner.
TIMELINE
- Weeks 1–2: dwell audit per airwaybill; pre-clearance routine introduced.
- Weeks 3–6: night-time recovery rhythm; bonded buffer staging live.
- Weeks 7–10: charter backup agreed; dwell dashboard reviewed weekly.
- Result: dwell 9 → 3 days, storage costs cut by two thirds.
