Boeing F747 Deployed To Deliver Heavy Equipment for Oman’s OQRPI
By Simon West
Asyad Group has deployed a Boeing F747 cargo charter to deliver 25 tons of heavy equipment from Italy to Oman.
The time-critical move was managed entirely by Asyad’s specialized project logistics teams and carried out for OQ Refineries and Petrochemical Industries (OQRPI). Asyad’s scope included equipment pickup in Italy, air transport, customs clearance at Muscat International Airport and final delivery to OQRPI’s Sohar warehouse facility.
Asyad said the project highlighted its capacity to handle high-value, time-sensitive air freight while supporting the growth of Oman’s air cargo economy.
“These specialized operations are a testament to strategic partnership, not merely transport execution,” said Eng. Juma Al Maskari, director at Asyad Logistics. “Recognizing that time is a critical factor for sustained client production and operational continuity, our capacity to deliver an integrated, time-sensitive solution directly validates the depth of our sector expertise and the inherent resilience of our operational infrastructure.”
Muscat-headquartered Asyad Group is Oman’s state-owned global integrated logistics provider. The group’s key international locations include the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, India, USA, China, Qatar and Kuwait.
