We provide comprehensive supply chain support, full logistics management and its optimization

Airbus offers a transportation support for all parts ordered on Free Carrier (FCA). For all parts ordered on FCA our customers nominate a forwarder in order to ensure the shipping process. 

For certain regions and origins of the shipment or in case of specific shipping requirements which cannot be handled by the customer’s forwarder, Airbus offers to arrange the transport though Airbus own flexible and reliable logistics set-up.

Customised Spares Logistics – Time flies, so do our spares

Among an increasing number of customers there is a growing awareness of the need to concentrate on their core competence – that is, on flying and possibly line maintenance – and to entrust other services such as spares transport and logistics to a reliable and operationally experienced provider, who can maximize spares on-time availability and cost efficiency. With customised spares logistics, from order entry on, we take the door-to-door responsibility for transport arrangements and for the entire supply chain until the part is received at its destination. This ensures timely deliveries with on-line shipment status transparency at all times. We lift spares where they belong: in the air.
