Transporting bridge CMM via international Air freight

My company wants to move an installed Zeiss CMM from France to Arizona, (~6000 miles) quickly. They are discussing air freight.
Does anyone have firsthand experience with air-freighting a CMM?

The hairs on my neck stood up when it was mentioned, it sounds so high risk.

  • Way, way back when I first joined Hexagon, I heard a story about us trying to fly a machine into the UK from the US. Apparently the cargo handlers at Heathrow didn't have right equipment or expertise to unload it and managed to drop the crate off the back of the plane. Hopefully things have improved since then.
