North American Webshop Orders To Be Exclusively Managed By Sporty’s Expert Delivery Teams
Schwerte, Germany – July 7th, 2026 – Honeycomb Aeronautical, a leading manufacturer of professional grade flight simulation hardware, announced today a North American logistics fulfillment partnership with US-based Sporty’s Pilot Shop, an aviation peripherals specialist with a proven track record in excellent customer service.
As of today, all US Honeycomb Aeronautical products purchased on the company’s webstore will be managed and delivered exclusively via Sporty’s, giving customers peace of mind when it comes to rapid delivery and returns. Customers will also benefit from higher-in stock rates, meaning high-demand items such as the recently released Echo Aviation Controller, will now be in stock overnight, allowing customers in the United States to realise their handheld-pilot ambitions before the year is out.
Partnering with a logistics expert such as Sporty’s, ensures that customers receive a superior service, while allowing Honeycomb to better focus on developing quality products for the growing flight simulation community.
Sporty’s has a long history of supplying pilots and flight simmers with premium equipment for their vocations, with a goal of making flying safer, easier, and more fun. For over 60 years, the team has prided themselves on working to develop the finest training courses and pilot supplies, all backed by fast and friendly service. Originally based at a small retail location at Lunken Airport (LUK) in Cincinnati, Ohio, Sporty’s quickly grew and soon moved to a larger location at the Clermont County Airport. Today Sporty's is one of the most respected names in aviation, with corporate activities in every segment of light aircraft from retail to training to maintenance to airport management.
This partnership will not have any impact on any Amazon orders or any orders outside of North America, but the Honeycomb Aeronautical team will continue to seek out ways to improve the service they provide their customers worldwide.
Neil Handa, Head of Group Marketing at Playcorion (parent company of Honeycomb Aeronautical) said “The team at Honeycomb Aeronautical is delighted to be partnering with Sporty’s, a company that shares our utmost commitment to both aeronautical pursuits and excellent customer service. This partnership will mean that our customers across North America will benefit from improved stock levels and faster shipping, meaning they can rise into the skies with Honeycomb Aeronautical products without delays. Our North American team is looking forward to spending more time doing what they love most - creating innovative flight simulation hardware for our community.”
Chris McGonegle, Director of Flight Simulation at Sporty's Pilot Shop, said, "Honeycomb Aeronautical products are incredibly popular among both our customers and our internal flight simulation team. The attention to detail in their engineering and feature sets directly appeals to our core base of general aviation pilots. We are excited to officially partner with the Honeycomb team, bringing Sporty's aviation expertise and dedicated in-house customer service team together to upgrade the buyer experience and help spread the joy of digital flight."
