Frequently asked questions

Aerospace logistics involves all the steps required to move and store goods (including finished goods, spare parts, and components) across the aerospace and defense supply chain. Aeronautic logistics requires a strong focus on compliance, control, risk management, visibility, and speed.

Issues and challenges for defense and aerospace logistics include:

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

At a high level, aeronautic logistics management includes:

  1. Build and execute a comprehensive and agile aerospace logistics plan. 
  2. Coordinate with a network of suppliers, carriers, and third-party providers of aerospace logistics services. 
  3. Maintain control over inventory levels and transport flows. 
  4. Create contingency plans to manage the logistics flow in case of disruptions.
  5. Regularly analyze logistics performance to adjust aerospace logistics execution. 

In aerospace logistics, there are three tiers of suppliers that support aerospace companies 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 aerospace and defense companies.
