4 a.m. - Load Controller Rene Pasveer has an early
start today - the first aircraft of the day, CV 7322
bound for Hong Kong via Tehran, is scheduled for
departure at 6 a.m.
Rene begins by preparing the loadsheet for this flight,
it determines how the freight pallets will be distributed
on the aircraft, based on their weight, destination and
the type of cargo involved. The deadline for reception
of general cargo was midnight and for the last
four hours, Cargolux's handling agent, Luxair, has
been busy palletizing. They finish on time at 4 a.m., this
leaves two hours to complete the loadsheet and load
the aircraft.
