Question

This assignment is for a rush shipment required for international air freight.

What would you need to do to get your client’s order from your shop in Calgary, Alberta to Sydney, Australia within three days from today?
You own a high tech company, named Geosolutions, which deals with highly specialized computer equipment for geological exploration. You have been dealing with a client in Sydney, Australia who is now in a “panic” to get the computer hardware you have developed for him. It is a fairly small device that is easily crated in protective packaging suitable for any mode of transportation. This entire crated box is 2’ wide X
1’6” long X 1’ deep and weighs only 40 lbs.
Your client absolutely must have this package in Sydney, Australia within 3 days, therefore air transportation is the only possible option.
Assume that the logical route for this package is an Air Canada flight from Calgary to Los Angeles, an
American Airline Flight to Honolulu, and then a QANTAS flight to Sydney, Australia.
•    Map out the physical transportation required.
•    Note the borders.
•    Consider any documents required.
