Aerospace and Aviation Industry Challenges Time to market is a key word in the aerospace and aviation industry and therefore drop shipments are increasingly utilized. Drop shipping is still a challenging task for many companies in the aviation industry (i.e. paying premium rates and labor intensify is attached). Drop Shipments are also commercially vulnerable for companies trying to protect information from reaching their customers or suppliers. Product quality is an issue at stake as companies do not see their product before arrival to their customers. Currently drop shipments are poorly managed by local forwarders due to the lack of control, unfamiliarity with the required process, the different time zone and network limitations.
