Aerospace
In the aerospace industry, we support both aviation manufacturing and airline/MRO (Maintenance, Repair, Overhaul) operations with highly specialized logistics. Aerospace supply chains involve high-value, precision parts and urgent timelines (especially for Aircraft on Ground situations), and our services are designed to meet these critical needs.
We handle the shipping of large aircraft components (fuselage sections, wings, engines) for manufacturers, often using tailored multi-modal solutions. Moving an engine or satellite component might involve a combination of air-ride trucks, dedicated air charters, and careful craning at destination. We coordinate closely with aerospace manufacturers to transport assemblies between facilities or deliver finished parts to final assembly lines.
For airlines and MRO providers, we offer expedited logistics for spare parts and equipment. When an aircraft is grounded awaiting a part, we can arrange next-flight-out or even a dedicated charter to deliver that component as quickly as possible. We also manage routine replenishment of maintenance inventory, delivering parts to hangars and repair stations around the world on scheduled or on-demand basis.
Strict quality and handling procedures are followed: aerospace parts often require clean, controlled environments and careful packaging to avoid any contamination or damage. We utilize specialized packaging (anti-static, humidity-controlled, shock-protected) and our staff are knowledgeable about certifications and paperwork needed (like FAA 8130-3 airworthiness tags, import/export licenses for defense-related items).
Additionally, we provide logistics for aerospace projects such as satellite launches or military deployments. This can involve transporting delicate satellites in climate-controlled containers with security escorts, or managing the movement of ground support equipment and spare parts for military aircraft under ITAR compliance. Our global network includes stations near major aerospace hubs, enabling responsive service where aerospace activity is high.
Benefits to Your Business:
- Precision and Care: Aerospace components are expensive and often one-of-a-kind. Our meticulous handling and specialized transport methods preserve the integrity of these parts. You can be confident that a multi-million-dollar engine or sensitive avionics unit will arrive without a scratch and ready for installation.
- Global Coverage: Whether you operate a global airline or supply parts internationally, we have the network to support you. We can position inventory near major airports or maintenance hubs and orchestrate international shipments through complex export/import processes swiftly. This global reach ensures consistent support no matter where your operations or customers are located.
- Compliance and Documentation: Aerospace is heavily regulated. We take care of the necessary documentation and regulatory compliance – from hazardous material declarations for certain components (like oxygen canisters or lithium batteries) to ensuring defense-related shipments comply with ITAR/EAR regulations. By ensuring all paperwork and certifications are handled correctly, we prevent legal issues or delays at borders.
- Enhanced Production & Service Efficiency: For manufacturers, our reliable logistics for moving sub-assemblies and delivering parts means your production line can function without material shortages, accelerating manufacturing cycles. For airlines, efficient spare parts logistics means higher fleet availability and better on-time performance metrics. In both cases, a well-oiled supply chain managed by us translates to smoother operations and better service levels in your core business.
