The size, complexity and value of modern aircraft engines requires a high level of transportation expertise and care
Over the years, our experience built by working closely with airlines, engine manufacturers, MRO’s, spares stockists and one-off buyers has positioned B&H as one of the world’s leaders in aviation & aerospace engine transportation and storage.
Expertise
B&H Worldwide’s knowledge of engine types and sizes enables us to identify the best transport solution for each customer and each unique situation. Using customer requirements, we design the optimum solution for each engine movement.
The result is a safe and secure transport solution with minimal loading time and maximum attention to detail.
Visibility
Supported by our 24/7 critical logistics centre, B&H global operations take responsibility for managing the movement of engines through every step in the transport chain and provides you with industry leading live communication tools to assist in managing time critical engineering activities.
Mitigating risk
Engine movements often involve multiple handover points, where operational and risk responsibility transitions from one party to another. Managing these handover points is critical to ensure an engine is delivered on schedule and without incident.
Our operating procedures are aligned with the manufacturer’s guidelines to ensure the integrity of the engine throughout the transportation process.
Delivery
Our GPS tracking and monitoring solution provides the exact location, condition, and security of your aircraft engine, anywhere in the world. The device provides data on transport conditions such as location, humidity, and adverse movement.
Customers have access to an online portal for real-time location updates and are kept informed regularly with email and SMS alerts.
