On board courier completes round-the-world assignment in 4 days
August 4, 2015Our On board courier (OBC) team in Cologne recently organised a hand carry operation that involved a full circle route around the globe.
An on board courier completed the 24,605 mile journey in 4 days, travelling through 8 airports in 3 continents - a distance equivalent to travelling the full circumference of the Earth at the equator.
As the courier's original consignment was a single delivery from Madrid to El Paso, the operation did not start as a round-the-world trip. This highlights our team’s ability to provide efficient, on demand solutions.
After completing his delivery at El Paso International Airport, the courier then began a new assignment which required him to travel to Cebu in the Philippines. From Cebu, he made his way back to his original departure point in Madrid via Singapore and Frankfurt.
