Air Partner plc - Time Critical Freight Solutions.

Delivering mission-critical cargo on time, every time.

Air Partner’s Time Critical Freight division provides rapid, reliable transport of high-value and time-sensitive cargo — from aerospace parts to automotive components — across the globe.

Our goal:
Enable clients in aerospace, maritime, and automotive sectors to move critical shipments faster, with greater visibility, using a fully digitised and secure solution.

The Opportunity.

In industries where time equals money, delayed shipments can cause catastrophic downtime:

  • Aerospace operators needed rapid delivery of spare parts and engines to avoid grounded aircraft.

  • Maritime companies faced major revenue loss from vessel downtime caused by parts delays.

  • Automotive manufacturers required just-in-time delivery of components to maintain production lines.

The industry lacked a globally scalable, digital-first solution with real-time transparency. Processes were fragmented and paper-based, resulting in delays and customer frustration.

We saw an opportunity to create an integrated Time Critical Freight platform to serve these high-value, high-urgency needs — and transform the customer experience.
