AGS Kenya MiniFreighter Drone Import for Humanitarian Aid Delivery

Meeting the most complex challenges is part of the daily routine of the AGS Kenya team, who do much more than transport household goods. Recently they played a crucial role in the import of a MiniFreighter drone on behalf of their client, Rhenus Logistics.

The operation formed part of the logistics partnership between Rhenus and Wings For Aid, an international NGO that delivers essential supplies to communities cut off by natural disasters or who live in hard-to-reach areas.

The AGS Kenya team was responsible for clearing the drone through customs. “This included obtaining a permit from the Kenyan Civil Aviation Authority to allow the MiniFreighter to enter the country,” explains Director of AGS Kenya Thibault Malezieux. “Once the drone arrived, we unloaded it onto a special trailer for delivery to its final destination.”

Capable of carrying 160kg within a range of 250km, the MiniFreighter 8/500FW allows associations like the International Red Cross, the Red Crescent, and the Kenya Red Cross to distribute medicines, water and food to Kenyans unreachable by road.
