After receiving the charter flight support task, Guangzhou Baiyun Airport formulated a detailed support plan in advance, and made careful arrangements and arrangements for the support process and details. The operation control center actively connects with the agent of the aviation company and the customs to assist in the customs clearance of materials. According to the characteristics of the C130 and C17 models, arrange a relatively independent and close to the runway of the self-sliding wide-body aircraft parking space, and temporarily close the two adjacent parking spaces to facilitate ground operations. At the same time, arrange the best taxi route for it to minimize the impact on the normal operation of other flights.

According to the flight situation, the aviation service branch company will complete the aviation information and dispatch service in advance; the logistics company will contact the airline company in advance to determine the flight plan, take the initiative to contact the agent to understand the nature of the goods, and formulate the safeguard measures in accordance with the loading of the aircraft type in advance. The ground handling company added additional loading and unloading personnel, forklifts, tractors, and other supporting equipment to ensure that the medical supplies were delivered to the apron on time and completed the loading and unloading. The flight zone management department shall clean the runway and the taxiway of the relevant route and draw the marking of the parking space before landing.

Through the joint efforts of various guarantee units, the charter guarantee task was successfully completed. C130 and C17, full of medical supplies, left Guangzhou at 04:15 and 07:05 on the 8th. (Finish)
