It’s also a really good choice for wet lease as it’s fast application and protection of the paintwork underneath means that there’s no need for painting, downtime and huge costs associated with that method.

Also , we think you will agree Aircraft Graphic Film can look amazing and actually enable airlines to push the boundaries when it comes to exterior visual appearance.

Nine out of ten times no one is ever getting close enough to an aircraft to even notice that a vinyl livery has been applied to the fuselage, that’s the beauty of these new technologies.

You are in safe hands especially if you are looking to draw attention to your fleet, let’s say for example you have a sponsor, associated brand or company that wishes to advertise on your aircraft.

Design possibilities are almost endless with high definition photographic quality, rich colours and gloss finishes.

Many airlines in Asia are fully on board (pun intended) with the concept of exterior branding and marketing and have found ways to welcome new revenue streams.

We are seeing more requests for conversion kits which help to rapidly transform passenger planes into temporary freighters.

With our extensive database and ability to flex with the market we are perfectly suited to provide fast turn around on manufactured cargo placards for all types of aircraft.

According to Forbes online, a huge percentage of commercial flights have been either cancelled or rescheduled leaving airlines no choice but to weather the storm in any way they can.

This is not entirely alien to many commercial airlines as cargo flights often account to 10-15% of their revenue under normal circumstances.

Here’s some additional information taken from Forbes.

American Airlines operated their first cargo-only flight this week as well since 1984 and other carriers including British Airways, Lufthansa, Emirates and United have followed suit in converting some passenger capacity to cargo-only flights.

Despite passengers being restricted from entering many countries around the world, cargo is not, and remains a necessary chain to ensure the continual flow of goods.

Although some commercial passenger airlines do have cargo only fleets they are often a small fraction of the size of their currently under-utilised passenger fleets.

The great news is that we are here to help and as mentioned above we have the ability to meet the requirements of many airlines by offering bespoke temporary cargo conversation kits which are cost effective, fast and easy to apply.

We manufacture the cargo placards with the same high-quality materials you would always expect from Larchfield Aerospace & Graphics which are not only durable they will be easily removed once things get back to normal and the aircraft returns to commercial duties.   

If you are searching for any type of cargo placards then drop us a line today to discuss your requirements.

In the past 12 months or so we have had regular requests for the printing of Braille placards from our customers.

It came to the point where we had to stop and listen to our customers because up until 2020 we didn’t have a reliable anything we could put our stamp on.

Then in the latter part of 2019, there were whispers that Russia was possibly introducing Braille as a mandatory requirement on Russian registered aircraft.

Is this the truth?

The Larchfield group have a huge presence within Russia and it does seem that there is a mandatory requirement for aircraft to have Braille placards for Lavatory and emergency seat rows.

Please correct us if we are wrong but this is what our research and indeed customer requests have to lead us to believe.

So…

Right at this point in time, Larchfield is working on an in house process to deliver high-quality placards using the same standard approved material such as Lexan FR 65.

Current lead time for manufacturing such placards is around 7-10 days and it is our hope to bring that down to our standard manufacturing times of 5-7 days from point of order.

Hopefully, this additional service is something that will be useful to many of our customers, not just the ones that operate in Russia as it’s predictable that Europe will follow suit and maybe the rest of the world in time…

Only time will tell how big the demand may get but for now please do reach out to us here at Larchfield to discuss any Braille requirements you have.

We are also able to help with Braille engineering orders using our Part21J UK partner.
