Seamless Operations at Heathrow: B&H Worldwide - Your Airside Logistics Partner

By Alan Barlow, Head of UK Operations at B&H Worldwide.

Heathrow Airport, a global aviation hub, demands precision and efficiency across all operations. For airlines, parts distributors, and MRO’s (Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul companies) within the aviation and aerospace sector, timely and secure airside logistics are paramount.

B&H Worldwide, a leader in aviation and aerospace logistics, understands these critical needs. With extensive experience and a strategic location at Heathrow Airport, we offer a complete airside logistics solution, from airside access and airside operations to airside transportation and comprehensive logistics management.

Navigating Airside Access: Expertise and Compliance

Operating airside at Heathrow necessitates a deep understanding of strict regulations and security protocols. B&H Worldwide has invested in acquiring the necessary accreditations, including Ground Operator Licences (GOLs) and Airside Operation Licences (AOLs) from Heathrow Airport Ltd (HAL). This ensures compliance with Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) regulations and international aviation security standards.

Beyond compliance, B&H prioritises robust security measures. Our personnel undergo rigorous vetting procedures and comprehensive airside driving training, ensuring the safe and secure handling of sensitive parts within the airside environment.
