The Mid-January, first quarter, Partners meeting was underway. The review of 2021 defined a year in true transition with each of the three primary Business Centers (Hangars) and their defined territories providing growth in very early 2022 above what they had anticipated, especially in new client and the business growth of their existing clients. As the three Partners completed presenting their Territory numbers and projections for 2022. The Shining Star, clearly had to be Priscillaās Far Eastern Territories as it had been so under severed in the past, and adding Air, Sea freight transportation and Financing for its member clients, it was clearly ripe for growth. The News of the organizationās addition of Sea transport in South American was a true catalyst for renewed growth there in the coming early months of the New Year. Although there had been increased Mega Container ships available with the opening of the upgraded Panama Canal, now for a couple of years, they should have off-set many of the long-distant PanImax container ships as the cost advantage of the much larger ships should have easily cherry-picked with their shipping cost per ton advantage. The Mega Shipā greatest hold back is that the Harbor Authorities had not invested in upgrading their Ports to accept the greater depth and size of the Mega Container Ships, end results, the PanImax ships continued to carry the volume as they support regional transportation. With the mind-numbing numbers behind them, they opened the meeting to Mary and their Managers.
Mary had begun her presentation with a review of the Security changes that had been completed during the Fall and early Winter of 2021 and specifically, which Web and Physical Attacks had been foiled resulting from their enhanced Security measures. Then to the Aircraft that they added based on leasing and out-right purchased during 2021, with leasing remaining for the long-haul, international, jumble jets. She then reviewed the products they sell to their Clients, Governments and specific large Corporations as part of the EU, North America and Australian Military Complex. The Servers, Software and Smart Laptop products leading those products. The anticipated GEN VI; Server, Laptop and Software packages are not being aggressively sold as testing is still underway. She then had Beak provide a more specific report on his groupās work with the Clients and their late Fall, Client Server inspections, upgrades and cleaning services. Jimmy, provided an update on Client aircraft service, repair, upgrades, and to the Corporationsā C-130J-30 aircraft they had purchased or planned to purchase during 2022. Jimmy speculated that with the ever-increasing size and number of āHot Spotsā around the World that providing their Regional Aircraft with on-board, anti-attack and retaliation armament is becoming ever more necessary as the use of ground-to-air missile sites seem to increase monthly. Chen provided an update on Corporate Logistics and the need continues to increase the abilities of each of the three primary Hangars adding or enhancing automated-inventory systems of at least a double bay size to support that primary Hangar in addition to the smaller assigned corporate hangars, but also the increased sales they are seeing directly to their Clients. As our buying power increases, combined with our Air and Sea transportation reliability, we, to a certain degree, are transitioning into a warehouse /supplier for our Client base.
High above the North Atlantic, one of their older leased KLM 747 cargo jets was experiencing an increasing issue with itsā Port outboard engine as it acted as thou it was starving for fuel. After completing system tests and even a restart, the pilot elected to shut the failing engine down. As they approached Englandās Controller Zone, the Starboard outer engine was beginning to display the same symptoms. The pilot reported the problem to KLM-EU maintenance /troubleshoot group as they used the onboard MY-N, smart laptop for providing real-time engine and system readouts to KLMās maintenance group. Within ten minutes they elected to shut-down that engine as well. They choose to land at Amsterdam airport and have MY-N and KLM service staff check the fuel supply systems. During the final approach into Amsterdam the Port inboard engine began showing the same issues of decreased fuel pressure. Although less critical at that point, the aircraft landed without the loss of that engine. KLM had notified MY-N Amsterdam Hangar of the issue and both groupsā staff were ready as the aircraft was positioned on the Annex paddock. Jimmyās crew had opened the engine covers on all four engines as the pilots reported that engine four was displaying the same issues after landing. Jimmy had pulled the fuel tester devise from his office and while his and KLMās staff were busy inspecting the engines and the supply lines, he started with the first engine that failed and completed the first fuel test. He found a jelling of the fuel that should not be there. Moving to the second engine he also found the same jelling issue. He called the Atlanta Hangar and asked them to contact their Jet Fuel supplier and report the issue and to also ground any of their aircraft that had been fueled at Atlanta Hangar the last 24 hours. Jimmy finished testing the fuel at the last engine and found the same jelling issue. He called his fuel supplier in Amsterdam and told them of his finding. They had a Chemist on-site moments later. Jimmy called the KLM flight controller and stated that their KLM 747 was grounded and they needed another to transfer the cargo to and continue the flight. Jimmy contact Chen to let her know that the inbound KLM 747 was at Amsterdam and that the cargo was being transfer to another KLM 747 as they spoke. Chen walked over to Jimmyās Hangar and stated that she would fly with the KLM 747 to Switzerland as they both began transferring the non-cargo, Hangar items to the replacement aircraft.
