Finding Your Provider: Aviation Logistics
In order to be commercially successful, an airline must operate with the utmost efficiency. Whether from a late passenger, a schedule disruption or a malfunctioning component of the aircraft, air travel is frequently subject to delays and hold-ups. Delays can be immensely costly to airlines; as each second spent on the ground incurs a cost of some kind – airlines can only begin to profit from their business once in the air!
In order to ensure that their organisation is as lucrative and profitable as possible, it is vital that airlines engage a suitable aviation courier, which is experienced in the support of an aviation supply chain. An aviation logistics provider must have the efficiency, reliability and security of a standard logistics provider of any other industry, but to an almost unparalleled standard. After all, a delay costs an enormous amount in lost revenue and insurance claims, and, more seriously, a damaged or compromised airline part poses a threat to hundreds, if not thousands of people. It is imperative then that a courier for the aviation industry is trustworthy, timely and appropriately local, with experience in acting as a logistics supplier.
Flexibility on schedule
It is a vital quality of your chosen aviation courier that they are able to arrive on time, no matter when or where they are needed. At World Courier Express, we’re here for you whenever, wherever – we know that airline schedules are rarely in operation during business hours!
World Courier Express additionally operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. We know that flights may need emergency support on Christmas Day or New Year’s Eve, and we’ll be there to fill in the gap when they do. Our experienced drivers work around the clock, to make sure that reliable logistics are a reality for all our clients.
Ability to deliver aircraft parts
Though it may seem obvious, of course your chosen courier must have the resources and capacity to deliver the necessary components to your airline. This means that they must be able to transport miniscule engine parts, from mini screws, as well as transport something as bulky as a tail unit or section of a wing. This necessitates the availability of a wide range of vehicle types. World Courier Express has access to a 4,000-strong fleet of vehicles including 18-Tonne Trucks, 12-Tonne Trucks and Artic Trucks, all of which have the storage capacity to transport large or heavy aeroplane components.

With over 80 branches, World Courier Express is the local aviation courier for all airports across the UK. No matter what you need, when you need it, World Courier Express are able to plan the fastest and most efficient route to your airport.
