The prominence of the US and Europe in this sector can be attributed to their advanced aviation industries, which include several of the world's leading original equipment manufacturers, airframers, and secondary suppliers.

Shipping aircraft parts requires meticulous care, expert handling, and specialised packaging. Depending on the size and fragility of the part, it can be packaged in custom crates or loaded onto specialised equipment. Smaller parts may be packed into ULDs. At DHL Express, we handle this process end-to-end, ensuring each part from airplane wings to aircraft engine parts are safely and efficiently transported to their destination.

Throughout this process, we ensure that all handling and transportation procedures strictly comply with international aviation regulations.
