Aviation Logistics & Aircraft Provisioning Solutions

Inventory accuracy and traceability built for commercial aviation.

In aviation, what’s missing matters. Provisioning materials that go missing — blankets, pillows, safety supplies, cabin service items — delay departures, inflate procurement costs, and trace back to the same root cause: a warehouse operation that wasn’t built for the accountability commercial aviation requires.

An inventory error doesn’t show up as a spreadsheet discrepancy — it grounds an aircraft.

Airlines that outsource provisioning to general-purpose airport labor companies routinely experience shrinkage, inaccurate counts, and supply shortfalls. Aviation supply chains require MRO discipline applied to provisioning: barcode tracking at every touch point, FIFO rotation, real-time inventory visibility, and documented audit trails.

Get the Solution →
 
General airport labor causes shrinkage
Without WMS-driven barcode tracking, provisioning materials disappear — and no one can tell you when or how much until procurement orders inflate to compensate
 
Inaccurate counts inflate procurement spend
When inventory counts are wrong, procurement orders reflect estimated usage, not actual consumption — the result is chronic overstock and procurement expense that shouldn’t exist
 
Documentation gaps create AOG risk
Aircraft on Ground (AOG) scenarios trace back to chain-of-custody failures — materials that can’t be traced, lot records that don’t exist, audit trails that stop mid-chain
 
General 3PLs are adapted to aviation, not built for it
Most 3PLs say they can handle aviation provisioning. Few have configured their facilities from the ground up for the documentation discipline aviation requires
Our Capabilities

Airlines & aviation logistics capabilities

Purpose-built for the compliance requirements, handling demands, and service standards this vertical requires.

Aircraft Provisioning Kitting
Aircraft Provisioning & Kitting

Receipt, inventory control, and kitting of cabin provisioning materials for commercial aircraft. WMS tracks every item at the lot level, executes FIFO rotation, and provides accurate count reporting.

WMS Driven Inventory Accuracy
WMS-Driven Inventory Accuracy

Barcode scanning at every touch point — inbound, put-away, pick, and outbound. Inventory counts are always current. Shrinkage is tracked and reported. The provisioning shortfalls that occur with general airport labor don’t happen here.

Chain of Custody Documentation
Chain-of-Custody Documentation

Documented audit trails from inbound receipt through outbound kitting and delivery — consistent with IATA supply chain standards and FAA-adjacent operational documentation requirements.

Purpose Built Facilities
Purpose-Built Facilities

Brown Aviation Logistics Provisioning Center — Newark, NJ. Brown Aviation Logistics Provisioning Center — Denver, CO. Both purpose-configured for aviation provisioning from the ground up.

FIFO Rotation Lot Tracking
FIFO Rotation & Lot Tracking

FIFO rotation and lot-level tracking as standard for all provisioning materials. Expiration date management for perishable provisioning items. Full audit trail from receipt to aircraft.

Integrated Logistics Network
Integrated BIL Network

Connected to our full asset transportation and brokerage network for time-critical provisioning logistics when materials need to move urgently between facilities or direct to aircraft.

Who This Serves

Built for the operations
where failure is not an option.

Commercial airlines managing aircraft provisioning operations at major hub airports
Aviation supply chain managers dealing with provisioning shrinkage, inaccurate counts, or procurement cost inflation
MRO operations requiring precise parts inventory, lot traceability, and chain-of-custody documentation
Airlines seeking a 3PL partner who understands the provisioning ecosystem — not just a company that stores things near an airport
