Network Airline Management Transports Tyres to Abu Dhabi for the F1 Grand Prix

“It’s lights out and away we go!”

Network Airline Management, with the use of its managed fleet of B747F aircraft, has successfully carried a shipment of tyres for the Formula 1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix from Europe to Abu Dhabi in the UAE.

Utilising NAM’s ad-hoc charter capacity, the aircraft was loaded with a total of 2080 ‘race-ready’ F1 tyres, bound for the Yas Marina Circuit. The flight time totalled 6 hours on board our newly liveried TF-AMM aircraft.

The intricate structure of the tyres utilises a combination of rubber compounds and special fibres, so had to be carefully temperature controlled between 15°c to 25°c whilst on board. The tyres were loaded over 39 PMC pallets, totalling 25 tonnes. The load was meticulously planned by NAM’s expert Special Loads team, to ensure all tyres were loaded to the required specification.

With NAM’s H24 Operations team on hand to cast a watchful eye over the flight’s operation from start to finish, the tyres were delivered in good time ahead of the race weekend in Abu Dhabi.

The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, in November 2022, was the final race of the season and is considered one of the highlight races of the entire season’s calendar, which featured some of the very tyres Network transported! After an exciting end to another F1 season, the team are already looking forward to the 2023 season ahead.
