"The Wings of Europe"
EuroCargo Missions

EuroCargo Missions
Special Missions
The London Olympics will take place this summer and EuroCargo has been chosen as a strategic partner to deliver key elements of the Olympic preparations to London. In your first mission you need to fly a Shorts 360 from our Hub in Zurich to the small airfield at Les Eplatures to collect a very valuable consignment of specially commissioned wristwatches which will be presented to Olympic referees and judges. The historic watchmakers "Gallet and Co" are based nearby and their Head of Sales will be on hand to oversee loading operations due to the value of the cargo.
Flight Details
Once the wristwatches in their ornate commemorative packages have been loaded safely you need to fly to Luton Airport where a team from the Olympic Delivery Authority will be waiting to transport the load to a secure location. You need to take-off and land smoothly and gently to avoid any chance of damage to the cargo.
Flight Details
The Royal Mint, which is based in South Wales, has produced all the Olympic medals which will be presented to winning athletes throughout the Games along with reproduction medals which will be available for the public to buy. Your next Mission is to travel from our Amsterdam Hub to Cardiff in South Wales where you will be one of a series of aircraft collecting unmarked consignments. Only one load contains medals and the others are just weighted boxes - this security measure has been put in place to reduce the chances of criminals intercepting the medals before they reach the aircraft.
Flight Details
Once the consignment is on board together with the two police officers who are escorting it, you need to get clearance and fly to London City airport where your cargo will be removed and taken to the Bank of England for secure storage until the Games begin. Don't forget the steep approach into EGLC! Your Bae 146 is well suited to this airport so you shouldn't have any trouble landing safely.
Flight Details
A competition has been running nationwide for children to design and make something that symbolises the best elements of life in the United Kingdom to them. Your next mission is to collect the hundreds of prize winning entries from Northern Ireland and Scotland to take to London where they will be used to create a special backdrop for the Olympic opening ceremony. You join your aircraft as it is being loaded at Belfast - next stop Glasgow!
Flight Details
You are greeted at the cargo apron by a crowd of excited school children who have come to see their winning designs get loaded onto the plane to travel to London. You can answer a few of their questions about the life of an airline pilot while the cargo is taken aboard then do your walkaround and get back in the air bound for Stansted. Make sure you wave to the children after take-off!
Flight Details
The new provisional government in Libya is keen to use the Olympics as a way of showing the new Libya in a positive light so EuroCargo has been selected to transport the Libyan team's training equipment as well as materials for a marketing exhibition from Tripoli to London. Your first leg is from our Hub at Athens to Tripoli. Be careful on approach as there are still some active supporters of the old regime who would like to shoot down foreign planes to show that the new government cannot provide security!
Flight Details
With your cargo aboard you need to take-off steeply to avoid the surface to air missile threat from insurgents - this is no problem for the MD-17 with its military STOL characteristics. Once above 10000 feet you should be able to relax and have a normal flight to London Gatwick!
Flight Details
High speed "Javelin" trains have been introduced to transport all the spectators to the Olympic venues quickly. These new trains come direct from Hitachi's factories in Japan and EuroCargo has been selected to ferry spare parts and installation equipment direct from the manufacturer to London to ensure that there are no delays once the Games open. You board your Jumbo at Tokyo Narita airport to start the long journey to the UK. Even with the fuel capacity of our 747-400F you will need to stop and refuel - to keep the costs low this will be in Astana, Kazakhstan.
Flight Details
With your fuel tanks topped up in Astana it is time to begin your final flight and deliver all these train parts to London Heathrow so that the Javelin train service can be fully tested ahead of the Games opening. Once you land, you and your crew will receive a special Olympic medal each for completing these missions together with a bottle of commemorative Champagne from the Olympic Delivery Authority. Well done Captain!
