Alpha Freight

Alfa Freight is an independent aviation logistics company that works worldwide, with phone lines in the United States and the United Kingdom. It focuses on aircraft on ground (AOG) shipments, charters, rapid returns, heavy or oversized freight and dangerous goods. The company says it is dedicated only to aviation logistics.

AOG work is the core of the business. The company says it handles over 10,000 AOG jobs each year. Its AOG team is on call 24 hours a day, every day of the year. It moves engines, specialist avionics, components and consumables by air freight, team transport or a mix of both, depending on how urgent the parts are.

Customers get an online portal to follow shipments in real time. The staff follow each step of the trip, including customs clearance, airport freight handling and delivery to the maintenance site. The company says it works to find cost-effective routes and only charges for the services a job needs.

Repair management covers the full repair cycle, from first diagnosis to the return of the part. Alfa Freight stores out-of-service parts in climate-controlled facilities. It manages repairs through a network of repair vendors for airframe and engine work. It handles customs, flight scheduling and ground transport. A secure portal gives customers access to repair orders, inspection reports, certificates and maintenance records.

Warehouse management offers storage, distribution, inventory management and order fulfilment. Other services include IT solutions, engine and haulage cargo, purchasing, on board courier hand carry and cargo charter. Cargo charter gives direct flights for shipments with special needs.

The company works with airlines, freight forwarders and international carriers to move cargo. Its customers are airlines and maintenance operators that need to keep aircraft flying. It also says it supports customers with supply chain advice to help cut response times and AOG risk.

Alfa Freight also describes steps toward lower fuel use and a smaller carbon footprint, including route and fuel planning, greener packaging and waste management.
