Air Cargo Support – Civil and Military

AFS Aviation specializes in bespoke Air Cargo Support Services designed specifically to enhance Airport and / or Military Cargo Operations.

When there are extra ordinary aircraft movements be it “Civil” or “Military” requiring additional equipment and / or personnel for the loading / offloading of Air Cargo, AFS can provide the extra depth needed to manage these activities.

Whether you are planning for future events, or those that suddenly appear on the radar, we can supply the additional equipment and workforce to cope with the increase in your Cargo Operations on a short- or longer-term basis.

We are experienced with supporting bespoke Cargo Loading Operations. Our services have been in high demand in the last 12 months having supported visiting aircraft for the G7 Summit at Newquay and the COP 26 Climate Summit in Glasgow in 2021.  Working closely with the MOD on loading operations on occasions, our services are in high demand.

You will see here recent operations as with the two AMSS Atlas Mk2A K Loaders in our portfolio managing the loading / offloading of the out of the ordinary cargo loads.

Each Atlas K Loader is capable of lifting four pallets with a total payload of 18 tonnes to a height of 5.5m for main deck loading. For hire on either a self-drive or fully operated basis, delivery of the loaders can be arranged for anywhere in UK or Europe by standard low loader transport.

Ground Support Equipment – Short and Long Term Rentals: Just got a whole lot easier!

Over the last few years AFS Aviation has seen growing demands for short term equipment rentals from a few days to a couple of weeks and so we have built up our stock of GSE to accommodate these demands.

Should you experience unforeseen equipment failures or an increase in your operation for a short period which may leave you short of equipment please give us a call.

We endeavour to assist where at all possible and so it is always worth finding time to call us to discuss your requirements, even if you only need extra equipment for a few days.

Additional items of GSE can make all the difference and so AFS offers equipment on either a short-term or long-term hire so you can provide the service you need to with ease.

We are always available to discuss the longer-term lease arrangements from six months to five years. Financing new equipment can be arranged on the longer-term projects. We are a friendly team here at AFS Aviation and always like to meet with our customers at our base at Lasham to discuss up and coming projects in more detail.
