Aerospace logistics shipment spotlights

April 15, 2025

When aircraft parts are urgently needed, AIT delivers

Our global aerospace logistics experts recently completed an oversized shipment for an aviation customer, transporting aircraft parts and engines from the south of France to Arizona via ocean shipping between Antwerp and Los Angeles. 

This door-to-door, multi-modal solution for out-of-gauge equipment included trucking from France to the Port of Antwerp, coordination to load three flat racks at the port, and securing special permits—all while ensuring the cargo was protected every step of the way, including the ocean voyage and final delivery. 

With the first 1,128-kilometer leg completed in just five working days, this is far from a one-off success. Since this first shipment, our team has completed multiple additional deliveries for the same customer with high-quality results. 

Thanks to AIT’s meticulous planning and seamless execution, we’re helping aerospace customers keep their operations soaring.

AOG challenge amid capacity, congestion issues
In the face of limited capacity and global supply chain congestion, AIT's government and aerospace logistics teams in the United Kingdom and the United States worked together to quickly resolve an aircraft-on-ground (AOG) situation, shipping two civil aircraft engines from Miami to Auckland, New Zealand.

By securing direct flights via our core air carriers, coordinating dedicated air ride vehicles, and assuring adherence to critical tie-down requirements, AIT managed the seamless delivery every step of the way—with the engines arriving to their destination two weeks ahead of the customer’s next best transportation option.

In the midst of grueling winter storms, an aircraft was stuck in Texas – unable to take off without an auxiliary power unit. To move the critical part from Chicago to Dallas, a leading provider of commercial and business aircraft engine solutions turned to AIT. 

Overcoming power outages, icy roads and a cargo shutdown at O’Hare International Airport, AIT quickly re-routed the shipment to a southern Illinois airport via hot-shot trucking and got the grounded aircraft back in the sky ASAP.
