LX Pantos completes complex defense logistics project for KAI

LX Pantos completes complex defense logistics project for KAI

LX Pantos, the logistics arm of LX Group, has successfully completed a complex cross-border defense logistics project involving the transportation of air-to-air missiles from France to Korea for Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI). The project is part of KAI’s development program for the marine attack helicopter, a domestically developed helicopter system for the Republic of Korea Marine Corps.

The missiles, supplied by a European defense contractor, were transported from Chateauroux Airport in France to Incheon International Airport aboard a dedicated charter flight arranged by LX Pantos. They were then transported by road to their final destination at a Marine Corps unit in Pohang. The shipment was classified as Class 1 explosives and was subject to strict security controls as defense material.
