In logistics, time is often the most valuable resource. But when it comes to time-critical shipments and Aircraft on Ground (AOG) situations, every second can mean the difference between keeping an operation running smoothly or facing costly downtime.
Airlines, manufacturers and operators know that when an aircraft is grounded, the urgency to move spare parts, engines, or critical components is absolute.
The challenge of AOG and time-critical logistics
Traditional shipping processes aren’t designed to handle the urgency of AOG or other time-critical deliveries. Delays at customs, inefficient routing or lack of visibility can turn a manageable situation into a major crisis. Airlines lose thousands of dollars per hour when an aircraft is grounded. Manufacturers risk production line disruptions when key parts don’t arrive on time.
