Plane cockpit heads for a new life in New Zealand with B&H

[ February 9, 2026   //   ]

Aerospace logistics specialist B&H Worldwide has completed a complex transportation of a decommissioned Airbus A330 cockpit from the UK to New Zealand. The intricate move, managed in collaboration with Christchurch-based Pacific involved a comprehensive, end-to-end logistics operation, designed by B&H Worldwide to meet the customer’s specific requirements.

The cockpit, which will be repurposed into an advanced A330 flight training device, was transported by sea with B&H’s handling the entire process. The operation began in West Sussex, where B&H’s UK transport and warehouse team collected the cockpit and packed it into a 20-foot sea freight container at B&H’s Heathrow facility

On arrival in Christchurch, the B&H New Zealand team managed the final stages, including customs clearance and delivery, as well as devanning at a facility to comply with strict biosecurity standards.

Branch manager at B&H Worldwide in New Zealand, Lee Hedges said: “This specialist project demonstrates our team’s versatility and deep understanding of aerospace logistics. While we are renowned for our time-critical services, this successful delivery proves our capability to handle projects of any scale and scope.”

Chief commercial officer of Pacific Simulators, Nathan Moulds, added: “The B&H Worldwide team provided an exceptional service, managing every detail of this complex international move with professionalism and expertise. Their meticulous planning and execution gave us complete peace of mind, knowing that this valuable asset was in safe hands. Thanks to their logistics support, we can now begin transforming this A330 cockpit into a training device that will help shape the future of commercial aviation.”
