Lamaignere, a global freight forwarder with more than 110 years of experience in the sector, has an Aeronautical Division that allows them to offer the most optimal, innovative, efficient and effective solutions to companies that are part of the aerospace and defense industry.
Lamaignere has the support of clients who are leaders within this such a strategic sector worldwide and which, consequently, has allowed it to be positioned as a reference provider in logistics solutions and being able to offer personalized and tailored services.
How has the demand for logistics and transportation solutions in the aviation industry evolved in recent years, and how has Lamaignere responded to these changes?
RB: The demand for new logistics solutions in recent years has been greatly influenced by the increase in the cost of both labor, fuel, transportation, etc. This has led most companies to demand new solutions that have led logistics companies to reinvent certain service areas that they did not cover until then. One of them is what we call the Full Service Support, which means taking control and management of all warehouses out of the large aeronautical companies, subcontracting their management in the form of renting or leasing or pay viewer. This is a very concrete example of how logistics companies can provide solutions to very specific problems, based on the extra cost that labor, fuel, etc. has recently entailed, as I said at the beginning.
How does Lamaignere ensure that it offers efficient and safe logistics services for aeronautical companies in different parts of the world?
MRS: We are currently present in 17 countries. Our delegations are prepared and trained in the aeronautical sector and in countries where we are not present with our own delegations, we belong to the ALN Logistics Network Group, which gives us coverage in these countries.
What emerging technologies or trends in logistics and transportation are having the most impact on the aeronautical industry?
JC.GC: In addition to taking advantage of the entire technology issue regarding cargo updates through online follow-ups with the client, we also use our own systems that we have for monitoring and controlling the merchandise itself. Not only do they control where they are located, but they also control impacts that the cargo may suffer from falling, breakage, opening of the boxes, etc. It all depends on some mechanisms that we use. Some are necessary to go inside the boxes and others are the latest generation, which are thinner and are glued to the envelope of the box. This allows us to achieve the geolocation of the goods, especially when they have special treatments due to the characteristics of the shipments. For example, in shipments that are regulated by the government of United States with export licenses and that when there is a loss we have to locate it where they could be found and with this it is immediate.
With environmental awareness increasing, how is Lamaignere addressing sustainability for the airline industry?
JC.GC: Many and diverse, among other things because of the great concern that our transport sector has, because of the carbon footprint that we are leaving in all means of land, sea, air and especially air transport, with the sector that we Our main client is the aeronautics industry. So we are trying to reduce the footprint and compensate as much as possible for all this impact that the carbon footprint leaves in air transport and for this we have undertaken a specific plan. We have the training and we are taking constant actions. We have incorporated electric vehicles for the last mile so that the impact is reduced even further. We are in compensation programs, tree plantations, cleaning country beaches, etc. everything oriented so that the carbon footprint is minimized as much as possible.
