  • Lack of control and visibility across the global supply chain. 
  • Geo-political & geo-environmental issues that affect the flow of goods. 
  • Heavy dependency on a few suppliers or carriers to deliver parts of goods, which reduces aerospace supply chain resilience. 
  • Handling & storage of large goods. 
  • Lack of workers skilled in managing these technical goods. 
  • Inability to intelligently forecast & meet market demand.  

The aeronautical industry is predicted to grow at a CAGR value of 25.5% from 2022 to 2027. To cash in on this growth momentum, it would benefit to partner with a technology-enabled aerospace logistics provider that has a global reach, expertise in your sector, ability to forecast the future trends, and offer the right operational outlook.

In aerospace logistics, there are 3 tiers of suppliers that support aerospace OEMs and the military:  Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3. Tier 3 manufactures the basic components that are sent to tier 2 companies that assemble these components into subsystems. From here the subsystems are sent to tier 1 suppliers who build  major components or systems that are shipped to the OEMS.
