Aviation Logistics | Brown Integrated Logistics

A missing safety supply doesn’t show up
as a spreadsheet error
-it grounds an aircraft.

General airport labor companies adapt to aviation logistics. Brown Aviation Logistics is built for it. The difference shows up in inventory accuracy, shrinkage rates, and the operational discipline your team can actually rely on.

General airport labor companies cause shrinkage

Without WMS-driven barcode tracking, provisioning materials disappear — blankets, safety supplies, cabin items — and no one can tell you when or how

Inaccurate counts inflate procurement spend

When inventory counts are wrong, procurement orders reflect estimated usage, not actual consumption. The result is overstock, stockouts, and procurement expense that shouldn’t exist

Documentation gaps create carrier delay risk

Carrier delays trace back to documentation gaps — materials that can’t be traced, replenishment records that break down, and audit trails that stop mid-process

General warehousing is adapted, not designed

Most 3PLs say they can handle aviation. Few have configured their facilities from the ground up for provisioning discipline and rigorous security requirements

Our Aviation Logistics Capabilities

Inventory management discipline applied to provisioning.
From the ground up.

Built for aviation from day one — not adapted to it.

Aircraft Provisioning & Kitting

Receipt, inventory control, and kitting of cabin provisioning materials — passenger comfort items, safety supplies, and service materials for commercial aircraft. WMS tracks every item with FIFO rotation and accurate count reporting.

WMS-Driven Inventory Accuracy

Barcode scanning at every touch point — inbound, put-away, pick, and outbound. Inventory is tracked and reported. The provisioning shortfalls that occur when general airport labor handles this work don’t happen here.

FIFO Rotation & Expiration Tracking

FIFO rotation is standard for all provisioning materials. Expiration date management for perishable provisioning items. Full audit trail from receipt to handoff — with seamless coordination to your planeside delivery partner.

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.

Best fit for airline and provisioning teams that need reliable inventory discipline, cleaner replenishment visibility, and fewer errors than general airport labor providers can deliver.
