K+N picked for A380 refurbishment project
Kuehne + Nagel (K+N) has been awarded a three year logistics contract for an A380 refurbishment project with Singapore Airlines for 14 of its A380 aircraft.
Under the agreement, Kuehne + Nagel will provide the customer with end-to-end digital support and manage the material from its collection at suppliers, its transport via all modes of transport and its delivery to an aerospace logistics hub. Once there, the material will be, inter alia, quality inspected, kitted and handed over to hangar maintenance in time and sequence.
“Our KN interior chain solution will be the backbone for the A380 fleet refurbishments. The interior chain is an innovative solution to the logistical requirements of an organisation’s refurbishment project.
We developed and launched it as an end-to-end digital logistics solution covering the entire lifecycle of aircraft interiors,” said Erik Goedhart, K+N's SVP aerospace. (mw)
