AOG stands for Aircraft on Ground — an aircraft that can’t fly until a part is fitted. It’s one of the most time-critical situations in logistics: a grounded aircraft means cancelled flights, stranded passengers and enormous cost per hour. An AOG courier exists to move that part, fast, at any hour.
Why AOG is different
- Cost of delay is extreme — every hour grounded is measured in thousands.
- It happens any time — which is why AOG demands a genuine 24/7 response.
- Direct is essential — the part goes straight to the aircraft or MRO facility, no depots.
How an AOG courier responds
- Immediate dispatch — a dedicated driver, day or night.
- Direct collection from the supplier, distributor or store.
- Straight-line delivery to the airport or maintenance facility.
- Fully tracked, with proof of delivery.
Beyond AOG
The same rapid-response capability supports the wider aerospace and aviation supply chain, where components must meet UK Civil Aviation Authority airworthiness requirements — time-critical parts, tooling and documents to and from airports and MRO sites.
