Aerospace and Aviation Logistics

From satellites and engine components to terminal security systems and data centers, as well as precision assemblies, Legacy supports aerospace and aviation shipments with equipment built for sensitive, high-value products.

Reliable Aerospace and Aviation Logistics When There’s No Margin for Error

Aerospace and aviation shipments often include oversized, irregular, or precision-built components that require careful handling and specialized equipment. These supply chains face conditions general carriers are not equipped to manage:

  • Irregular dimensions and weight that require trailers suited for large or non-standard components.

  • Sensitive assemblies that need controlled handling to prevent damage during loading, transit, or delivery.

  • Airport and aviation facility requirements that restrict access to security cleared personnel and approved carriers.

  • High-value products where delays can interrupt manufacturing or maintenance schedules.

With Legacy, critical aerospace and aviation components arrive where and when they’re needed—safe, secure, and on time.

Specialized Equipment for Oversized Components

Flat-floor, high cube, side-door , liftgate and climate controlled trailers, to flatbeds and Conestogas allow Legacy to match each aerospace shipment with the right equipment for its size, shape, and sensitivity.

White-Glove Handling and Secure Transport

Trained teams use controlled handling methods and protective materials to safeguard avionics, engine components, terminal security systems and data centers, and other precision assemblies.

How Legacy Supports Aerospace and Aviation Logistics

Custom Crating for Oversized Shipments

Satellite payloads, fuselage panels, and propulsion hardware rarely fit standard transport dimensions. Legacy provides custom-designed crating and packaging to stabilize and secure components sensitive shipments.

Scalable Support for Changing Aerospace and Aviation Needs

From one-off satellite prototypes to multi-phase production programs, Legacy scales to meet your needs. As an asset-based carrier, our specialized fleet provides flexibility to support changing timelines or varying shipment sizes as needs evolve.

End-to-End Coordination Across Complex Supply Chains

Aerospace shipments often involve specialized handling needs, timing constraints, or multiple stakeholders. Legacy provides a single coordinator to manage routing, scheduling, and communication so the shipment stays organized from start to finish.

Access to Secure Air Cargo Facilities

Because Legacy drivers are TSA-certified, we can deliver aerospace shipments directly into secure air cargo environments when needed, supporting time-sensitive handoffs.

Put Your Aerospace and Aviation Logistics in Trusted Hands

For over 35 years, Legacy has handled aerospace and aviation shipments with precision. Our asset-based fleet and experienced teams manage high-value equipment with the discipline and care your sensitive products demand.
