Express Air Freight

Five plants, three borders, one control tower.

The challenge

Five plants, three borders, eleven carriers — and a 74% on-time rate that was stopping production lines twice a month. Critical parts moved on ad-hoc bookings with no shared milestones, and customs entries were filed at the gate instead of before the flight.

The solution

We moved critical parts to next-flight-out air cover, pre-cleared air customs entries and set a single control tower with live milestones for every airwaybill. Backup uplifts were named on two lanes, and pickup cutoffs were frozen on one shared page.

  • Next-flight-out cover with guaranteed space on critical lanes.
  • Pre-cleared air customs entries filed before wheels-up.
  • Single control tower with live milestones per airwaybill.
