Aviation Support in the defence industry refers to the full range of services that enable the safe, timely, and efficient movement of military aircraft, personnel, and cargo – supporting mission readiness both during exercises and real-time operations.

Our Aviation Logistic Support Division specialises in providing comprehensive ground handling services and logistics support for aviation operations worldwide. From managing efficient ground handling operations and providing passenger and crew aviation support to handling cargo, we ensure seamless aircraft movements that transport troops, equipment, and materials to and from operational theatres and exercises.

We ensure that military aviation operations are carried out safely, efficiently, and in full compliance with international and local standards, even in the most complex or high-pressure environments. Our expertise includes managing military equipment and cargo, handling customs clearance, and the safe transportation of hazardous materials (HAZMAT) in line with IATA and ICAO regulations.

From transport planes to advanced fighter jets and helicopters, our experienced teams deliver readiness and reliability, even under the most demanding conditions, including short-notice requests and operations in hard-to-reach locations. Our global reach and proven track record ensure smooth operations, wherever your mission takes you.
