AVIATION
Few freight forwarders operate an airline.
We are one of them.
National Air Cargo moves aviation cargo from inside the industry itself. We belong to a group with its own airline. That means we spend every day sourcing, handling, and moving the high-value parts our customers ship to keep a fleet flying.

WHO WE SERVE
The people who move aviation’s most valuable cargo
Aviation parts are among the most valuable and delicate cargo in the world. A single engine can be worth millions. Move on wrong and the damage can cost more than the shipment itself. Whether the work is a routine program or an urgent recovery, National Air Cargo handles that cargo with the competence it demands.
- Airlines: Your fleet runs on parts moving safely and on time, from a planned engine change to the spare a grounded tail is waiting on. National Air Cargo moves engines and critical spares to your maintenance bases with the handling they demand and the speed the situation calls for.
- MRO providers: Your turn times depend on parts arriving exactly when scheduled. We move engines, landing gear, avionics, and structural components between facilities worldwide, handled to protect their value and coordinated to the maintenance calendar you’re holding to.
- Aircraft manufacturers: Production runs on components moving between plants on schedule. National Air Cargo transports fuselage sections, wings, avionics, and composite structures with the oversize handling, care, and timing that assembly lines require.
- Original equipment manufacturers (OEMs): You supply the engines, avionics, and systems that airframes and operators are built around, often direct to the line or the aircraft on a schedule that can’t slip. National Air Cargo moves your high-value units between plants, suppliers, and customers with the handling and documentation their value demands.
- Aircraft leasing companies: A leased engine or a redelivery moving between operators has a transition window that can’t be missed. We coordinate the transport, the documentation, and the customs to keep a high-value asset moving between airlines and maintenance facilities, its condition protected end to end.
- Aviation parts suppliers & distributors: Your customers expect critical spares available and moving, whether that’s a stocked order or a grounded aircraft downstream. National Air Cargo carries avionics, landing gear, and engine components across global lanes, handled with the care high-value parts require and at the speed each order calls for.
WHY NATIONAL AIR CARGO
Few forwarders know aviation the way an operator does
National Air Cargo belongs to an aviation group with an airline of its own. We source, handle, and move the same high-value parts our customers ship, all to help keep our group’s fleet in the air. Complex aviation cargo is just another day at the office here.
Aviation from the inside
We learn aviation the way an operator does, because we are one. The parts you shop are the parts we source, handle, and move to keep our own group’s fleet in the air. That’s an understanding most forwarders can’t buy.
Engines handled like the assets they are
An engine can be worth more than the aircraft waiting on it. We plan the load, the securing, and the handling around protecting that value at every touch, from the stand it leaves to the one it arrives on.
Every kind of aviation move, at its own pace
Aviation runs on planned work as much as urgent work. We handle scheduled engine transfers, standing component programs, and routine spares with the same precision we bring to a recovery, each moved at the pace it actually needs.
And when it’s on the ground, we move
When an aircraft is grounded, the clock we run is the one you’re watching. We route by which path reaches your aircraft first, across next flight out, dedicated charter, and every option in between, taking a faster one the moment it opens.
One team owns the outcome
However the lift is resourced, one team stays accountable from your first call to the part’s arrival. We own the plan and the outcome, regardless of who provides the aircraft.
OUR CAPABILITIES
The hard parts of aviation, handled as routine
Moving aviation cargo well takes more than lift. It takes handling built for the value of the part and coordination across every mode. National Air Cargo runs all of it.
Engine and component transport
Engines on stands, rotables, avionics, and oversize structures, with the load planning and securing they demand.
Rapid AOG response
24/7 activation, immediate assessment, and the fastest routing across every mode.
Charter and next‑flight‑out lift
Dedicated aircraft and expedited uplift when the cargo or the clock demands it.
On‑board courier and hand carry
A part under continuous supervision on the next available departure, with no exposure to standard handling.
Dangerous goods and compliance
Batteries, chemical oxygen generators, and other regulated aviation commodities, classified, packed, and documented to move.
Customs, IOR/EOR, door to door
Clearance, importer and exporter of record, and final delivery to the hangar, MRO, or line station.
MIssion Highlights
Our record speaks more than we ever could
Whether it’s a planned engine crossing the world or a tail on the ground, operators hand us the move and stay out of our way, because they’ve watched us run it before.
CERTIFICATIONs & COMPLIANCE
The right paperwork is the shipment’s fastest lane
A part clears faster when its documentation is right the first time. National Air Cargo moves dangerous goods under the IATA DGR and ICAO Technical Instructions, runs quality to ISO 9001, and holds air cargo security through TSA Indirect Air Carrier and known shipper status, plus Civil Reserve Air Fleet participation for defense operations.
Our global network
Positioned across the lanes aviation flies
Aviation runs on a global map. So do we. National positions people, agents, and customs know-how across the corridors you operate in, keeping a shipment clear and moving wherever it needs to go.
