A German automotive factory, facing a shortage of parts stuck in Bulgaria, opted for a charter flight that could transport the components in about eight hours, according to senior cargo manager Isidro Nuñez Oñate of Chapman Freeborn.
The decision reflects the high cost of production downtime, with an idle hour at a major plant valued at up to USD 2.3 million, and highlights the vulnerability of Mediterranean supply routes where road recovery is limited after ferry cancellations.
