Aircraft downtime can cost airlines millions in lost revenue and disrupt schedules across multiple flights and destinations. Reliable aviation logistics is crucial for ensuring that aircraft remain serviceable, with essential parts and components delivered as soon as they’re needed. This post explores why aviation logistics matters so much to airlines and how Scanlon Freight specialises in minimising downtime through expert support.
Understanding the Importance of Aviation Logistics
The aviation industry contributes approximately US$3.5 trillion to global GDP, underscoring its role as a vital economic driver. Keeping aircraft fully operational is essential for supporting this contribution, whether through enabling global travel or moving time-sensitive goods like medical supplies. Here’s where expert aviation logistics comes into play: by ensuring quick, safe delivery of critical components, airlines can keep planes in the air, preventing costly disruptions.
Specialised AOG (Aircraft on Ground) Services
AOG situations demand immediate action. Every moment an aircraft spends on the ground can mean significant financial losses for airlines. Scanlon Freight’s 24/7/365 team is always ready to handle these emergencies, moving engines, critical parts, and other components to get aircraft back in the air as quickly as possible. With over 20 years of experience, we understand that timing is everything, and our network ensures seamless support wherever your aircraft is located.
