I'ts a massive ad for DHL, if anything ...

Have they really been doing loopings in the Atlantic ??

The funny thing is, according to the trustworthy Swedish tech mag Ny Teknik, DHL denies the artist's claim.

Quick translation from their article:

"- Is it really true DHL transported this GPS brief case around the world? - No, it's a totally made up story. We have nothing to do with this, says DHL Sweden's press spokesperson Cornilla von Plomgren."

Also, at least I find the artist's choice of motif quite uninspired...

"No, it's a totally made up story."

That was my first guess. There aren't enough straight lines in the drawing for it to be regular shipping, and I can't see DHL agreeing to fly a plane on such an irregular route for the fairly minimal publicity it would give.
