Will Space Be The Final Frontier For ALN?

The Aviation Logistics Network (ALN) global logistics service provider to the Aerospace Industry has formally announced the formation of a dedicated division within the network to serve the needs of the growing Space sector.

The specialist offshoot from ALN will be called Space Logistics Network (SLN) and will provide bespoke services aimed at solving the challenges in the transportation and logistical supply chain for those companies developing low earth orbit satellites as well as those organisations developing spaceports for launch services who may require logistical support.

Ralph Perkins Managing Director of ALN said, “The idea is not a totally new one as ALN has in fact been fulfilling the needs of several space pioneers over the years through its global partners.  However the idea of combining the various skill sets within ALN to form a dedicated vertical to our Space client’s signals ALN commitment to continue to be at the cutting edge of both Space & Aerospace Transportation and Logistics”

“With the global space economy set to reach $1 trillion by 2040 through a combination of the continued commercialisation of space linked to a reduction in launch costs, allied to smaller and more cost effective Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites. Predictions of up to 40,000 being launched over the next decade will lead to a demand for specialists in this area and we believe the time is now right to look to the future and extend our reach further into this area “.
