Shipping aircraft parts comes with many concerns. Aircraft parts are expensive assets that need to move carefully. When shipping freight for the aviation industry, you’ll find a number of hoops to jump though and regulations to deal with. From getting the right freight class to determining if your aircraft parts contain dangerous goods, working with the right freight broker can help you make sense of the process.
To be competitive, aircraft manufacturers need a logistics partner who can adapt quickly to changes and move products seamlessly. Freight shipping aircraft parts, whether for commercial, personal or government use, involves careful coordination.
There are a number of methods for freight shipping aircraft parts. Our professionals can assist with aircraft parts shipping via rail or air freight. Shipping managers regularly choose to ship aircraft parts via partial and full truckload shipping. Truckload shipping offers a smooth ride, without the stops of rail freight or expense of expedited air freight shipping.

AIRCRAFT PARTS FREIGHT CLASS
When shipping aircraft parts via ground such as LTL or FTL shipping, you need to be aware of the items’ freight class. Carriers use a shipments freight class to determine pricing and organize commodities. Determined by the National Motor Freight Traffic Association, freight class is based on density, stowability, handling, and liability.
Aircraft parts are categorized by the NMFTA as class number 150. Individual aircraft components might be classified differently. For example, a circuit breaker might be class 77.5, while an engine stand might be class 70.
Full truckload freight shipping is a good option for moving aircraft parts in a timely, safe and cost-effective way. FTL shipping of aircraft parts is the transportation of bulk goods or pallets that require the use of an entire semi-truck trailer. A truckload shipment might weigh more than 15,000 lbs. These loads are cost-effective and require less handling than LTL loads.
