D P Logistics (Private) Limited (DPL) recently extended its integrated end-to-end logistics solutions to effectively bring down electronic items from China through a Sri Lankan Airlines Charter flight, adhering to all COVID-19 related safety regulations and precautions.

This solution was successfully accomplished under very challenging circumstances. China was on the brink of the Chinese New Year holidays and the client was struggling to get the goods out of the country, prior to the holidays.

It was against a backdrop of a huge capacity crunch, several limitations due to the holiday season and the global pandemic that DPL stepped in to partner with Sri Lankan Cargo and come out with the customized logistics solution which included chartering an aircraft to bring the goods to Sri Lanka.

DPL’s counterpart in China organized the logistics requirement in the country from collecting goods in the bonded area, palletizing them in a dedicated warehouse, transferring them to the Shanghai Pudong International (PVG) airport, and processing all customs formalities in record time to have the goods cleared within the relevant timelines. 

Commenting on the task, DPL General Manager (Freight Forwarding) Mr. Indika De Silva said, “For DPL’s dedicated team of professionals, there are no limitations in terms of working hours or days, we will do whatever it takes to meet unique customer requirements with customized economical solutions.”
