When production lines stop, every minute costs thousands. 24/7 emergency air cargo for critical spare parts, urgent components, and manufacturing equipment worldwide.
Production line stoppages represent one of manufacturing's most expensive emergencies. When a critical component fails—whether it's a hydraulic pump on an automotive assembly line, a specialized sensor in electronics manufacturing, or a precision bearing in aerospace production—every hour of downtime cascades into significant financial losses and operational disruptions.
AirCargo911 specializes in emergency logistics for manufacturing facilities worldwide. We understand that when production stops, you need the replacement part delivered not tomorrow, not even later today—you need it on the absolute fastest routing possible, with every minute of delay eliminated through priority handling and optimized air cargo connections.
Different manufacturing sectors face unique emergency logistics challenges requiring specialized knowledge and handling capabilities:

When you call our 24/7 manufacturing emergency hotline, we immediately gather critical information: What failed? Where is the replacement part? Where does it need to go? What's your absolute deadline? This assessment typically takes 3-5 minutes while our team simultaneously begins searching available flights.
We contact your supplier or parts warehouse to arrange immediate pickup. For suppliers accustomed to emergency requests, pickup often occurs within 30-60 minutes. For suppliers requiring advance notice, we coordinate to ensure the part is ready when our courier arrives, eliminating waiting time that extends downtime.
Manufacturing equipment often faces customs classifications requiring specific documentation. Our customs brokerage partners understand harmonized codes for industrial components, ensuring proper documentation travels with your shipment and clearance proceeds smoothly at destination.
You receive tracking information immediately and proactive updates at every milestone: pickup completed, cleared security, departed, arrived, cleared customs, out for delivery. Your production team knows exactly when to expect the critical part, enabling them to prepare for installation.
Not every production issue justifies emergency freight costs. Consider emergency air cargo when:
