Transforming Airport & Aviation Supply Chains to mobilise, Deliver & Scale

Rapid changes in aviation are creating new opportunities for companies willing to innovate and reposition themselves for the future. Galloway & Pierce's works alongside programs and teams to help them deliver through change.

Aligning aerospace supply chains to shifting global conditions

Emerging from a prolonged period of disruption, the aviation and aerospace sector is seeing renewed demand for fleet expansion, maintenance, and infrastructure upgrades. Airlines, airports, and OEMs are recalibrating operating models in response to volatile fuel costs, supply shortages, and evolving passenger and cargo patterns, while major hubs such as Sydney and Perth are planning multi-billion-dollar terminal and runway expansions to handle forecast passenger and freight growth over the next two decades.

As recovery continues, delivery risk is increasingly concentrated within maintenance and supply networks. The region’s MRO sector faces elevated labour costs, shortages of licensed engineers, and extended lead times for imported parts, all within a tightening safety and regulatory environment. For airlines, OEMs, and airport operators, sustaining growth will depend on more integrated supplier data, stronger coordination across partners, and clearer, end-to-end visibility across the aerospace supply chain.

Galloway & pierce Across Airports & Aviation

Aerospace and innovation projects follow non-linear, high-uncertainty development paths, requiring procurement and delivery systems that are flexible, iterative, and risk-tolerant. As regional ecosystems mature, the priority is to build sovereign capability and embed innovation within globally competitive and compliant supply chains, while addressing the broader challenge of balancing rapid iteration with credible assurance and aligning public investment with long-term commercial pathways that grow capability across the sector.

Market Intelligence & Capability Insight

We provide clients with clear visibility of supplier status, capability, lead times, and delivery constraints, helping teams understand market coverage, identify compliant partners, and anticipate single-source exposure across safety and long-lead supply environments.

Mobilisation Context & Delivery Readiness

We support mobilisation by providing visibility of supplier readiness across tooling, engineering resources, documentation, process stability, and workforce inputs, helping teams understand alignment with airworthiness and regulatory requirements.

Data Integration, Evidence & Reporting

We integrate supplier, engineering, and compliance information into consistent, auditable evidence sets that support transparent decision-making using quality trends, long-lead exposure, and capability gaps across programs and MRO operations.

Delivery Signals & Value Chain Visibility

We support aviation programs by maintaining consistent visibility of documentation flows, approval stages, escalation pathways, and signals, helping teams respond to emerging constraints and coordination pressures as conditions evolve.

Supporting Delivery Decisions Across Projects, Programs & Industries

Galloway & Pierce supports informed project delivery by surfacing clear, point-in-time views of supplier participation, dependencies, and exposure across every stage of the program lifecycle.

Infrastructure & Capital Projects

Gain programme-wide visibility of how local and national suppliers contribute across work packages, scopes, and delivery stages — helping manage risk and demonstrate compliance.

Construction & Property

Simplify oversight and embed data flows to show how engagement shifts through design, construction, and handover — supporting coordination, performance management, and project progression.

Transportation & Logistics

Organise network information to clarify roles, dependencies, and interfaces — helping teams coordinate activity, manage risk, and maintain continuity across complex transport networks.

Energy & Resources

Coordinate data across programmes to support readiness, compliance, and local participation — helping teams evidence capability, track performance, and meet assurance requirements.

Government & Public Sector

Provide transparent, traceable visibility of participation and performance across programmes — supporting assurance, accountability, and confidence in public investment outcomes.

Airports & Aviation

Maintain consistent visibility of provider participation across operations to support qualification, compliance, and governance requirements in safety-critical environments.

Supplier & People Strategies

Strong delivery depends on understanding how suppliers and people participate across projects, programmes, and delivery networks. Clear visibility across capability, capacity, and engagement supports more reliable outcomes, stronger coordination, and greater transparency across the value chain.

Our team supports asset owners and delivery teams by helping them build a independent, validated picture of supplier and workforce participation. We link suppliers and people to delivery context and business impact by combining supplier-side insight, reporting, and on-the-ground delivery experience to support informed engagement and decision-making.
