Why Warehouse Staff Are Essential to Air Cargo Logistics

Air freight may travel by aircraft, but a significant amount of work takes place on the ground.

Before freight reaches an aircraft, and after it arrives in the UK, warehouse and logistics teams can be responsible for handling goods and preparing them for onward movement.

A typical supply chain can involve:

Warehouse → Road Transport → Airport Cargo Facility → Aircraft → Destination Airport → Road Transport → Distribution

Warehouse teams are an essential part of this wider logistics process.

Businesses may require:

• Warehouse operatives
• Goods-in staff
• Goods-out staff
• Pickers and packers
• Loaders and unloaders
• Dispatch operatives
• Stock handlers
• FLT drivers
• Shift supervisors
