Further to a review of its current business model, the aftermarket business of Premium Aircraft Interiors Group has decided to outsource its airfreight, roadfreight (both domestic and international) and seafreight logistics operations to Kuehne + Nagel to meet the crucial costconscious demands of the market. Premium Aircraft Interiors Group will be utilising Kuehne + Nagel’s integrated range of logistics services specifically created for the aerospace and aviation industry to deliver a premium physical logistics model to its international customers.
