Air Partner is one of leading providers of private jet, group charter, and cargo services for the music & touring industry. Delivering time-sensitive stage equipment and musical instruments is essential to live performances.

Challenge:
A major country music star added an evening festival performance in Iowa to an already busy tour schedule. As they were due to be performing in Canada the following afternoon, Air Partner was required to deliver a rapid turnaround and transport 48 items, including music instruments and stage equipment. The logistics involved strict deadlines and advanced carnet clearances, with the added challenge of non-standard airport operating hours.
Solution:
Air Partner’s cargo team sprang into action, orchestrating a seamless operation made possible by precise planning and coordination. We expertly managed the detailed carnet process, liaising extensively with the customs agents to ensure everything remained on track. Custom-made wheel covers were employed to secure the cargo, and a backup aircraft was on standby to address any unforeseen issues. Despite the tight timeline, we successfully had the aircraft airborne within three hours, ensuring the equipment arrived in Canada on schedule.
