Air Freight, Expedited, High-Value. Los Angeles

Parts, engines, and aerostructures moved with the urgency and paper trail this
industry runs on. Based where American aerospace lives.

Freight with a paper trail your quality team can audit

Aerospace freight carries two clocks no other industry has. The AOG clock, where a grounded aircraft burns revenue by the hour and a part sitting in the wrong city is an emergency, not an inconvenience. And the traceability clock, where a component without its documentation isn't a part anymore, it's scrap, no matter what it cost. Freight that's fast but undocumented fails this industry as badly as freight that's slow.

AEEM runs aerospace freight from inside the industry's home geography, the Southern California corridor from El Segundo to Long Beach to Palmdale. TSA IAC certified air cargo through LAX, team drivers for AOG and line-critical ground moves, high-value protocols with documented custody at every handoff, and warehousing for parts and tooling programs. Every load moves with its paperwork, or it doesn't move.

Certified Indirect-Air Carrier

Indirect Air Carrier certified for air freight through LAX, with screening and documentation handled to TSA standards on every air shipment.

AOG Speed

Team drivers running around the clock cover coast-to-coast ground in as little as 2 days, with next-flight-out air when the aircraft can't wait that long.

The right speed for every part

Aerospace freight runs from routine to emergency. Scheduled parts programs ride ground and ocean, line-critical components ride team drivers, and a grounded aircraft gets the next flight out. Pick a service below to see how we run it for aerospace.

THE PLAYBOOK

Where aerospace freight breaks, and how we run it

A Los Angeles based team that treats the paperwork like part of the part.

The risk: an AOG clock

The aircraft earning nothing on the ground

A grounded aircraft burns tens of thousands in lost revenue per day, which makes the freight cost irrelevant and the freight speed everything. AOG moves get the fastest honest option, next-flight-out through LAX or team drivers who never park, quoted straight so you pick on real arrival times.

The risk: a part without papers

The component that arrived as scrap

In aerospace, a part separated from its documentation loses its identity, and an engine without a clean custody trail invites questions no quality team wants. We move aerospace freight with documented chain of custody at every handoff, so what arrives is a traceable part, not an expensive question mark.

The risk: an oversize surprise

The aerostructure that doesn't fit the plan

Wings sections, tooling, and test rigs outgrow standard trailers fast, and an unpermitted oversize piece sits until the paperwork catches up. Dimensions get checked against every state on the route before quoting, with permits, surveys, and escorts arranged upfront and priced into one number.

Frequently asked questions

Aerospace shipping, answered

Straight answers on AOG moves, chain of custody, TSA certified air cargo, and oversize aerospace pieces.

How fast can you move an AOG part?

As fast as physics allows, quoted honestly. Next-flight-out air through LAX for the truly grounded, team drivers running around the clock for line-critical ground moves, and a straight comparison of real arrival times so you choose on facts, not promises.

What does TSA IAC certification mean for my freight?

Indirect Air Carrier certification means AEEM is authorized by TSA to tender cargo to passenger and cargo airlines, with security screening, documentation, and chain of custody handled to TSA standards. Your air freight moves through the system as known cargo, not a question at the counter.

How do you maintain chain of custody on aerospace parts?

Named drivers, sealed equipment with documented seal numbers, and custody records at every handoff from dock to delivery. The part travels with its paper trail intact, so your quality and receiving teams get documentation, not gaps.

Can you handle engines and other high-value components?

Yes. Engines, APUs, and avionics move on air-ride equipment under our high-value program, with all-risk cargo insurance arranged to declared value, vetted drivers, and monitored transit from pickup to delivery.

Do you move oversize aerostructures and tooling?

Yes. Structures, tooling, and test equipment that exceed legal dimensions move on permitted equipment with route surveys and escorts arranged per state, coordinated as programs when a campaign involves multiple pieces.

Do you serve the Southern California aerospace corridor?

It's home. We're based in Los Angeles County and run daily across the corridor, from the South Bay to Long Beach to the high desert, with the LAX air gateway and the LA and Long Beach seaports in our backyard.
