SEOUL, South Korea, Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LX Pantos (President & CEO: Lee
Yong-ho) announced on September 8 that it had completed a cross-border defense logistics
project for advanced weapons.

The project transported air-to-air missiles (AAMs) from France to Korea for the 
Republic of Korea Marine Corps’ Marine Attack Helicopter (MAH) program, led by the
Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA). LX Pantos carried out the project
for Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI).

*An air-to-air missile (AAM) is a guided missile launched from an aircraft in flight to engage an airborne target.

The AAMs for the MAH were shipped by European defense contractor M and transported
from Châteauroux Airport in France to Incheon International Airport aboard a charter
flight arranged by LX Pantos. They were then delivered by road to a Republic of 
Korea Marine Corps unit in Pohang.

LX Pantos deployed a dedicated charter aircraft, with the missiles carried as the
sole cargo to ensure safety and security. The shipment was classified as Class 1
explosives, Division 1.2, Compatibility Group E, and the missiles were subject to
the highest levels of security control.

Air transportation of dangerous goods such as defense materials is a highly specialized
operation that must comply with both the International Air Transport Association(
IATA) Dangerous Goods Regulations and relevant national aviation safety requirements.

During the operation, LX Pantos secured overflight clearances from 14 countries 
across Europe, the Middle East and Asia and coordinated multimodal transport through
its global network, including European subsidiaries.

LX Pantos has been expanding its defense logistics business since receiving an "
Excellent" rating in a 2024 security assessment by Korea’s Defense Counterintelligence
Command.

It has also attained Assessment Level 3 (AL3), the highest level under Trusted Information
Security Assessment Exchange (TISAX), demonstrating its ability to meet stringent
global information security requirements.

An LX Pantos official said the project demonstrated the company’s advanced safety,
security and logistics expertise, adding that LX Pantos will continue to support
global defense customers and strengthen its role in the defense logistics market.
