Aerospace & Defense Logistics: frequently asked questions

What does an aerospace and defense logistics provider do?

It stores, handles, and distributes aircraft and defense parts under aviation quality standards like AS9120, maintaining full traceability with certificates of conformance, managing ITAR and export controls, applying FOD control, and supporting urgent AOG needs.

What is the difference between AS9120 and AS9100?

AS9100 is the quality standard for aviation, space, and defense manufacturers, while AS9120 covers distributors and stockists focused on traceability and preventing counterfeit parts. Match the certification to the provider's role in your supply chain.

Why does ITAR compliance matter?

The International Traffic in Arms Regulations control the export and handling of defense-related articles and technical data, and violations carry serious penalties. If your materials are ITAR-controlled, confirm the provider is registered and has controls in place.

What is AOG and how does it affect logistics?

AOG means aircraft on ground, where a grounded aircraft needs a part urgently to return to service. Providers that handle AOG offer expedited, closely tracked movement, so ask about their response process and after-hours coverage.
