Inspections for early defect detection, transport status, visualization of inventory

To establish a safe, high-quality, and efficient supply chain for aircraft parts, FLY EXPRESS COURIER SERVICE created a consolidated system for storage and transport of aircraft parts based on AS9120 certification, the aerospace industry's quality management system standard.

The AS9100 series was formulated in the U.S. as a standard to supplement ISO9001, the international standards for quality, with requirements specified by the International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG) established by European and American aerospace industry companies. As part of the AS9100 series, the AS9120 standard applies specifically to organizations that handle the storage and transport of parts, specifically logistics suppliers, wholesale agents and trading companies.
