Kuehne + Nagel has been picked as a partner in global logistics by Premium Aircraft Interiors Group, a globally integrated group of companies dealing with support for the lifecycle of cabin interior products and services.
The decision to outsource airfreight, domestic and international road freight and sea freight logistics operations comes in the wake of meeting cost conscious demands in the market, according to Premium Aircraft.
The deal with Kuehne + Nagel means Premium Aircraft will use their integrated logistics services range specially created for the aerospace and aviation industry in a bid to deliver a physical logistics model to international customers. This also means that Premium Aircraft will benefit immensely from Kuehne + Nagel’s KN Login, their logistics information system and will improve on the visibility and control of its supply chain.
The logistics information system is a web-based platform designed to convey real-time visibility of supply chains and reporting as well.
“There is a much needed shift to customer responsiveness by improving operational performance with no impact to cost. Kuehne + Nagel has delivered against this model. Customers are already seeing the benefits of streamlined reporting and improved physical logistics processes, which in turn will remove waste from the value chain and much needed cost in a struggling airline market,” said Brent Collins, head of global supply chain services at Premium Aircraft Interiors Group.
Chris Edwards, director of airfreight at Kuehne + Nagel North West Europe, said: “Kuehne + Nagel is a leading logistics provider for the aerospace and aviation sector. Through our integrated logistics services, we can offer Premium Aircraft Interiors Group efficient tailor-made solutions to fulfil their bespoke and critical needs. Our partnership with Premium Aircraft Interiors Group also broadens Kuehne + Nagel’s aerospace service portfolio.”
