Eta Logistics

Aircraft on ground support, around the clock

Eta Logistics is a time-critical freight company. Its best-known service is AOG support, which the site describes as aircraft on ground work: urgent help for aircraft that are grounded. The firm's dedicated team is available 24/7 for the most urgent shipments. Its staff come from aero-maintenance and engineering backgrounds, which the site says gives them an understanding of the urgency behind every aircraft-on-ground situation.

The AOG team works directly with a client's suppliers and maintenance providers to shorten lead times and make sure ground engineers receive parts when they need them. Its networks are built to meet those deadlines.

Aero-engine and aircraft logistics

Specialised aero-engine logistics covers the planned movement of engines, which the site says is arranged to reduce aircraft downtime. Commercial fixed-wing and rotary aircraft logistics is a separate strand, along with ancillary aircraft ground handling.

Air, sea and sea-air freight

Shipments can move by air, by sea or by a combination of the two. The firm says its services are tailored to each client's requirements, and it describes its freight as covering high-value shipments as well as routine work.

Stock control and warehousing

Beyond urgent freight, the firm manages stock control and routine replenishment, with staff trained in the aircraft spares supply-chain management software most widely used in the industry. Its contract logistics includes warehouse and pick and pack processes adapted to each client's business, with the aim of keeping stock management efficient over the long term.

Customs brokerage, trucking and tracking

The brokerage team handles export and import declarations so that freight is not held up by government agencies. Trucking is part of the offer, and the site describes real-time visibility of orders and transport. The firm says clients have relied on it for decades for clear, honest reporting of where a shipment is and when it will arrive.

Marine and pharmaceutical logistics

Marine logistics covers boat and spares logistics around the world, using the firm's trusted networks and offices. For pharmaceutical clients, the firm provides logistics for production companies and distributors, using a warehouse and transport management system called CargoWise to manage supply chains that the site describes as complex.
