Aerospace logistics company B&H Worldwide has successfully facilitated the urgent movement of two CFM56 aircraft engines for T’Way Air.

The engine handling was needed after the South Korean low-cost carrier encountered an unexpected situation requiring the immediate return of one of the serviced engines due to a bird strike that grounded an aircraft.

James Lim, powerplant engineer at T’Way Air, said: “We are extremely grateful for the exceptional support provided by B&H Worldwide during this urgent situation. Their quick thinking and logistics expertise ensured our grounded aircraft was back in operation as soon as possible, minimising disruption to our schedule.”

The engines were originally shipped from Seoul to Singapore for routine servicing at ST Engineering Aerospace Engine Centre. B&H Worldwide partnered with BTL Global Logistics, who appointed B&H to manage the movement within Singapore.

The engine was ready for collection on Monday evening and needed to be delivered to Incheon Airport (ICN) by Wednesday. Due to regulations, Korean Airlines only ships dangerous goods out of Singapore once a week, on Fridays.

B&H Worldwide collaborated with ST Engineering Aerospace Engine Centre to confirm the engine had been purged of flammable liquids and obtained an official non-regulated declaration.

This crucial step allowed B&H Worldwide to secure a last-minute spot on a Korean Airlines flight for Wednesday, meeting T’Way’s tight deadline.

H.G. Kim, chief executive at BTL Global Logistics, said: “B&H Worldwide’s seamless collaboration throughout this process was instrumental in a successful outcome.

“Their understanding of the intricacies of aircraft engine logistics and their ability to navigate challenges made them the perfect partner for this time-sensitive operation.”

David Wong, station manager in Singapore at B&H Worldwide, said: “B&H Worldwide’s vast knowledge and specialisation in engine handling provided T’Way with peace of mind throughout the entire process.

“We are committed to delivering efficient solutions and exceeding client expectations, and this project exemplifies that commitment.”
