Spare Parts Logistics
Keeping aircraft in the air at crucial moments
“Inoperable parts” (INOPs) represent a major problem for airlines.
Expensive replacement parts are required, or the aircraft risks
being grounded indefinitely. This essential element of the aircraft‘s
maintenance lifecycle receives special attention in Kuehne + Nagel‘s
“Supply the Sky” concept.
Over the last 15 years, Kuehne + Nagel has developed a number of
services for this critical issue of spare parts availability. We now use
our global network to provide three graduated transit time solutions
to suit the needs of individual customers.
For example, our customers can benefit from a service that
includes the less urgent parts on the same day, and in the same
consignment, as the more expensive Aircraft on Ground (AOG)
shipment, leading to reduced total cost. Should transit times be
exceeded, an automated alarm is immediately sent via our advanced
order management system to both Kuehne + Nagel and the airline,
triggering an agreed course of action.
