Aircraft Engine Transportation

IMT’s knowledge of various engine types and sizes enables us to identify the most effective means of transportation for each shipment. The result is safe and secure transport of the aircraft engine with minimal loading time and maximum attention to detail. Aircraft engine transportation and aircraft component logistics is a specialized task that requires years of experience and knowledge of the critical nature of the cargo.

IMT has successfully completed over 15,000 aircraft engine shipments to all corners of North America. We have developed a proprietary Standard Operating Procedure  based on OEM securement guidelines, along with our own requirements developed over decades of aircraft engine transportation experience.

IMT drivers must complete our Aircraft Engine Handling Course which comprises of three modules:

  1. Classroom theory and training
  2. Field training – drivers must complete the jet engine loading and securement procedure under supervision
  3. Final exam – drivers must score 100% on the exam to pass the course
