Shipping aircraft parts requires meticulous care, expert handling, and specialised packaging. Depending on the size and fragility of the part, it can be packaged in custom crates or loaded onto specialised equipment. Smaller parts may be packed into ULDs. At DHL Express, we handle this process end-to-end, ensuring each part from airplane wings to aircraft engine parts are safely and efficiently transported to their destination.
Shipping an aircraft engine is a complex task that requires special attention. The engine must be secured in a custom-built stand that supports its weight and structure, and then it is typically loaded into a cargo plane using specialised loading equipment. Throughout this process, we ensure that all handling and transportation procedures strictly comply with international aviation regulations.
DHL Express can ship small engines with a maximum weight of 1,000 kg per piece and maximum dimensions of 300cm x 200xm x 160cm.
Our team will guide you through the process of shipping spare parts internationally, ensuring full compliance with industry-specific import and export regulations. We manage everything from pick-up to delivery, providing end-to-end support.
