MEMPHIS, Tenn., October 29, 2026 – FedEx Corp. (NYSE: FDX) is enhancing its global aerospace capabilities with a dedicated engine logistics solution designed to move aircraft engines and oversized aerospace components with speed, precision, and reliability. As aerospace organizations navigate increasing maintenance demand, supply chain complexity, and pressure to maximize fleet availability, the solution helps customers keep critical operations moving while reducing disruptions associated with engine transportation.
“When an aircraft engine needs to move, every hour matters and every detail counts,” said Marcus Balzereit, president, FedEx Logistics. “A delayed engine can impact flight schedules, aircraft availability, maintenance schedules, and operational commitments across the aviation industry. With our own airline DNA, we understand firsthand the complexity and urgency behind keeping aircraft flying. Our solution brings together dedicated aerospace experts, digital innovation, and a proven global network to provide customers with the speed, visibility, and reliability they need to keep operations running efficiently.”
At the center of the solution is a dedicated team of experts that manages all main-deck engine quotations and oversees shipment execution from origin to destination. Working closely with teams around the world, the experts provide centralized oversight, regulatory compliance, customs coordination, and end-to-end accountability throughout the shipment lifecycle.
Every engine movement strictly adheres to FedEx global operating procedures, ensuring safety, customer compliance, and that each engine is fully secured before departure to minimize transit risks. Complementing this process is a proprietary digital platform that streamlines quotation generation, automates communications, and securely manages shipment documentation.
At a time when the aerospace industry is managing extended lead times, parts shortages, and growing pressure to maintain fleet readiness, reliable transportation of critical assets has become increasingly important. This integrated approach to engine logistics helps customers strengthen supply chain resilience, improve shipment visibility, and minimize the operational impact of maintenance-related delays.
Since June 2025, FedEx has transported hundreds of main-deck aircraft engines totaling thousands of tons. This proven experience, combined with a global network and specialized aerospace expertise, enables FedEx to deliver reliable, compliant, and scalable engine transportation solutions across the aerospace industry.
