LX Pantos Successfully Completes Complex Defense Logistics Project for Advanced Weaponry

On September 8, 2026, LX Pantos, led by CEO Lee Yong-ho, announced the completion of a sophisticated defense logistics project. This project involved the successful transport of air-to-air missiles from France to South Korea, specifically for the Republic of Korea Marine Corps (ROKMC) and their Marine Attack Helicopter (MAH) program.

The air-to-air missiles were sourced from a European defense contractor and were flown in via a charter flight, arranged solely by LX Pantos. These missiles, classified under explosives and subject to strict security protocols, made their journey from Châteauroux Airport in France to Incheon International Airport in South Korea. From there, they were delivered by road to a military unit in Pohang.

Ensuring the utmost safety, LX Pantos utilized a dedicated flight to transport these missiles, emphasizing the critical nature of this operation. The transportation of hazardous goods, especially those related to defense, requires not only adherence to the International Air Transport Association (IATA) Dangerous Goods Regulations but also compliance with national air security requirements.

During the logistics operation, LX Pantos secured overflight permissions from 14 countries across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. Their ability to coordinate multimodal transportation effectively, thanks to their global network and European subsidiaries, was crucial in executing this complex project while maintaining high-security standards.
