Logistics Plus (LP) AERO Ltd (UK), in collaboration with Logistics Plus France and Logistics Plus, Inc. (US), successfully organized the air transportation of a GEnx-1B aircraft engine from New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), USA, to Nairobi’s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO), Kenya.
The Logistics Plus team handled a coordinated pickup and trucking from the engine’s manufacturer to the New York (JFK) airport. A 23-ton forklift had to be specially arranged for safe engine unloading, and then the cargo was transshipped at a European hub. Throughout the process, LP AERO staff were on site for end-to-end oversight of all critical stages, including loading, transfer, and unloading.
The GEnx-1B is the largest aircraft engine that a Boeing 747F can transport, making this project an example of the precise planning and expert execution required by the LP AERO team.

In today’s fast-paced global market, getting goods from one place to another quickly can make all the difference. As businesses strive to meet customer demands and manage supply chains efficiently, air freight emerges as a vital option. However, with higher air cargo pricing compared to other modes of transport, understanding when air freight is worth the cost is crucial for any business.
Speed as a Strategic Advantage
Several factors, including weight, size, distance, and the specific routes, influence air freight rates. Air freight is almost always more expensive than land or sea transport because of the speed and convenience it offers. When calculating air freight costs, businesses must consider both the base rate and additional surcharges. These can include fuel surcharges, security fees, customs duties, and other related expenses.
Security for High-Value Shipments
The primary advantage of air freight is speed. When time is of the essence and the delivery of goods cannot be delayed, air freight is the best choice. This is especially true for perishable goods, high-demand products, or time-sensitive materials needed for production. For critical shipments that require even more specialized handling, air charter services offer a tailored solution with maximum flexibility and speed.
Air freight is often the preferred choice for transporting high-value goods. The enhanced security measures and reduced transit time mean less risk of damage or theft, making it a safer option for luxury items, electronics, and other valuable products.
Is Air Freight Worth the Cost?
To determine whether air freight is worth the cost, businesses should conduct a thorough analysis of air freight costs. Consider the following:
- Total Cost vs. Value of Goods: Compare the cost of air freight with the value of the goods being shipped. If the goods are of high value or if their timely delivery adds significant value, the higher price may be justified.
- Impact on Supply Chain: Assess the impact of air freight on the overall supply chain management. Faster delivery can mean reduced inventory holding costs and improved cash flow, potentially offsetting higher shipping costs.
- Customer Satisfaction: In some cases, meeting customer expectations for rapid delivery can significantly enhance customer satisfaction and loyalty, ultimately leading to long-term business benefits.
Making the Right Choice
Ultimately, choosing air freight depends on balancing the need for speed against the cost. Businesses must weigh the urgency, value, and impact on the supply chain to make informed decisions about their actions. While air freight rates can be steep, the benefits of reduced transit times, enhanced security, and meeting customer demands can often justify the expense.

A Warehouse Management System (WMS) transforms warehouse operations into a well-coordinated, data-driven environment that directly benefits customers. By delivering orders faster, more accurately, and with better transparency, a WMS becomes a critical tool in creating a superior customer experience and fostering long-term loyalty. Here are the benefits of implementing a Warehouse Management System (WMS) into your operations.
Streamlined Operations
A WMS helps streamline warehouse operations by automating various processes, from receiving goods to shipping them out. This automation reduces the likelihood of human error, ensuring that customers receive the correct products on time. By minimizing delays and mistakes, businesses can build trust and reliability with their customers.
Improved Inventory Control
Effective inventory management is essential for meeting customer expectations. A robust inventory control system, integrated within a Warehouse Management System (WMS), enables businesses to maintain accurate stock levels. This ensures that popular products are always in stock, reducing the likelihood of backorders and stockouts. Customers appreciate knowing that the items they want are readily available, which enhances their shopping experience.
Real-Time Data Access
One of the most significant benefits of a WMS is the ability to access real-time data by utilizing built-in business intelligence platforms. With up-to-date information on inventory levels, order statuses, and shipment tracking, businesses can provide customers with accurate and timely updates. This transparency fosters customer confidence and alleviates concerns about their orders, leading to a more positive overall experience.
Enhanced Order Fulfillment
A WMS optimizes the order fulfillment process by efficiently picking, packing, and shipping orders. This system ensures that orders are processed quickly and accurately, thereby reducing the time it takes for products to reach customers. Fast, accurate order fulfillment is a key component of customer satisfaction, as it meets the growing demand for quick and reliable delivery.
Cost Efficiency
Implementing a WMS can lead to cost savings that benefit both the business and the customer. By reducing waste, optimizing labor, and improving inventory accuracy, companies can lower operational costs. These savings can be passed on to customers through competitive pricing, enhancing the overall value proposition.
Better Customer Support
A WMS provides customer service teams with the tools they need to offer superior support. With access to detailed order and inventory information, representatives can quickly address customer inquiries and resolve issues. This efficiency not only improves the customer experience but also strengthens the customer-business relationship.
