When an aircraft is grounded, every minute counts. C4 Logistics delivers Aircraft on Ground (AOG) parts, engines, tooling and aerospace components across the UK, Europe and worldwide, while managing the customs and compliance needed to keep shipments moving.
For more than 25 years, we’ve supported airlines, Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) providers, Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers, and aerospace manufacturers with time-critical logistics. Whether it’s a hand-carry, dedicated vehicle or air charter, we mobilise the fastest practical solution and keep you informed until your shipment is delivered.
We respond within 15 minutes, operate 24/7, and understand what’s at stake when aircraft or production lines are waiting for a critical part.
In aerospace there is no slack in the system, on the ground or in the air. The cost of a delay is measured in tens of thousands of pounds, and the compliance bar is high.
Aircraft on Ground situations can’t wait for the next scheduled service. We assess the fastest available option and arrange dedicated road transport, hand-carry or air charter, depending on the urgency and destination.
Many aerospace components are subject to export controls or classified as dual-use goods. Our customs specialists manage import and export declarations with specialist oversight, maintaining complete audit trails and compliance records throughout every shipment.
When Middle East airspace closed, we kept a customer’s fastener shipments moving from Taiwan into France by combining road and air freight and opening an alternative route and maintaining delivery schedules through a single point of contact.
