Operation Of Warehousing And Storage Facilities For Air Transport Activities

Details for Operation Of Warehousing And Storage Facilities For Air Transport Activities

The code identifies businesses involved in operation of warehousing and storage facilities for air transport activities, whether that is delivered as a core trading operation or as a specialist service line. In plain English, it is likely to include transport operators, couriers, hauliers, logistics providers, warehouse businesses and mobility services, with day-to-day activity often involving vehicle operations, routing, storage, delivery, fleet management, goods movement and passenger or freight coordination. As of June 2026, 52102 ranks 491st out of 731 five-digit SIC codes, with 738 UK companies registered under it, making it a mid-range classification rather than a mass-market filing choice.

The four-code limit at Companies House is useful here, as many businesses use one code for their main trade and additional SIC codes for secondary services, side operations or closely related commercial functions. The short official label is deliberately compact, so the real-world businesses behind it may describe themselves using broader phrases such as operation of warehousing and storage facilities for air transport activities services, specialist operation of warehousing and storage facilities for air transport activities providers, operators in related supply chains, or companies supporting customers who need this form of commercial activity. The Standard Industrial Classification has a long UK history, dating back to the 1940s, although the version used for modern company filings changed when Companies House replaced 4-digit SIC 2003 entries with 5-digit SIC 2007 codes in 2008–2009, in step with NACE Rev.

2. In practical terms, the code helps separate this kind of work from neighbouring sectors that may look similar in search results but involve different trading models, assets, customers or regulatory expectations.

It is also useful for analysts, lenders, marketers and public bodies because it gives a consistent way to group companies by declared activity, even though the description is not a licence, approval or guarantee of what a company actually does day to day. A company using this code might be newly incorporated, dormant, small and owner-managed, or part of a larger group, so the SIC entry should normally be read alongside accounts, confirmation statements, websites and other commercial signals.
