Since 2003, JJX Logistics has supported one of the UK’s leading Tier 1 aerospace manufacturers based in the West Midlands with highly specialised, time-critical logistics solutions all across Europe. With a deep understanding of the aerospace sector’s pressures and expectations, we have developed a long standing partnership built on trust, successful performance and most importantly a shared focus on continuous innovation, something that sits at the heart of JJX and our network of collaborations.
For our customer, downtime isn’t just an inconvenience it is a high cost scenario. An aircraft-on-ground (AOG) situation can cost between $15,000 and $20,000 per hour in the modern era making reliability and control absolutely essential in every link of the supply chain.
Manufacturing a wide range of technical and very delicate actuators, the parts we are transporting are truly critical to their operations and must arrive on time, intact and compliant with industry regulations. That’s where JJX steps in...
We provide daily express road freight linehauls across Europe, particularly through France and Germany into some of the largest aerospace clusters in the world. Additionally, twice weekly movements reach key manufacturing hubs in Poland and link their link supply together, ensuring continuity of parts across multiple production sites. Every shipment is handled with precision and urgency backed by a 99.7% on-time delivery rate over the past five years even amidst the challenges of post-Brexit trade.
Security and compliance are non-negotiables in their industry and to meet the strict standards required, we regularly implement enhanced security measures such as our TAPA TSR Level 1 transit solutions. Our in-house customs department handles all cross-border documentation while our AEO (Authorised Economic Operator) status provides our customer with the transparency, reliability and trust demanded of Tier 1 aerospace suppliers.
In recent years, sustainability has become an ever growing focus for both JJX and our customer. Since 2023 we have introduced fully electric vans into our fleet completing all final mile deliveries across the Black Country in and out of many of our fellow members of the Midlands Aerospace Alliance. These environmentally friendly solutions support our partner’s carbon reduction goals without compromising speed or service.
Understanding the aerospace industry is vital to ensuring time critical logistics. Its pace, its challenges and its compliance landscape has been crucial to our success. As proud members of the Midlands Aerospace Alliance since 2012, we stay actively engaged with the regional sector and continuously invest in our team’s knowledge to stay ahead of evolving expectations.
From the first mile to the last, JJX Logistics has delivered over two decades of dependable, time sensitive service for this leading aerospace manufacturer. Through this tailored collaboration and an unwavering commitment to quality, we continue to evolve our support as their requirements change and ensure that every shipment contributes to keeping their operations airborne.
