AOG support, 24 hours a day, every day of the year

AOG events end one way here: back in the air

An aircraft on ground event does not wait for business hours, and neither do we. One call puts a dedicated maintenance controller on your AOG event: dispatching mechanics, sourcing and expediting parts, and managing every vendor until the aircraft returns to service.

Not urgent? Log in to put a team behind your aircraft before the next AOG event.

The problem

What is an AOG event?

AOG stands for aircraft on ground: a discrepancy serious enough that the aircraft cannot legally or safely fly until it is fixed. Every hour of an AOG event costs money, disrupts schedules, and strands passengers, and the fix usually depends on three things happening fast: the right mechanic, the right part, and someone coordinating both. That coordination is what we do.

  • A dedicated controller owns your AOG event from first call to return-to-service.
  • Mechanics and repair stations located and dispatched to wherever the aircraft sits.
  • Parts specialists work our supplier network with counter-to-counter and next-flight-out shipping.
  • You approve every decision that costs money, and the whole event is documented in your account.

Who we support

AOG support for everyone with skin in the game

Aircraft owners

No flight department? Your controller becomes one for the duration of the AOG event, and you stay informed without working the phones.

Operators and flight departments

Extra hands when an AOG event lands after hours, on a weekend, or while your director of maintenance is already buried.

Charter and Part 135

Revenue trips do not reschedule themselves. We work the AOG event while your team works the schedule.

Repair stations

A customer's aircraft down on your ramp waiting on a part? Our specialists source it while your techs stay on the wrench.

The first hour

What happens when you call in an AOG event

1

A controller picks up

A maintenance professional gets the facts: aircraft, location, discrepancy, and what the trip schedule can absorb. The event is theirs from that moment.

2

Everything moves in parallel

Mechanics, parts, and logistics are worked at the same time, not one after another. You get updates as they happen and approve every spend.

3

Back in service, on record

The aircraft flies, and the full story of the AOG event, every call, quote, and sign-off, lives in your account for the next audit or the next sale.

FAQ

AOG events, frequently asked

What does AOG mean in aviation?

AOG stands for aircraft on ground. It is the industry term for a maintenance problem serious enough that the aircraft cannot fly until it is resolved. AOG events are treated as the highest priority in aviation maintenance because every hour on the ground costs money and disrupts the schedule.

What should I do first when my aircraft goes AOG?

Call 917-732-7337. A maintenance controller takes the aircraft type, location, and discrepancy, and starts working mechanics, parts, and logistics in parallel. You do not need an account to call, though registering your aircraft ahead of time means we already know the airframe when the phone rings.

Can you source parts during an AOG event?

Yes. AOG parts requests go to the front of the line. Our specialists work a nationwide supplier network for new, overhauled, serviceable, exchange, and loaner components, verify condition and traceability paperwork, and arrange counter-to-counter or next-flight-out shipping.

Do you handle AOG events after hours, on weekends, and on holidays?

Yes. AOG events rarely happen during business hours, so the AOG line is staffed around the clock, every day of the year. Nights, weekends, and holidays are exactly when most of our AOG calls come in.

Who pays the vendors during an AOG event?

You do, directly, and you approve every decision that costs money before it happens. Every quote, approval, and invoice is itemized in your account, so the paper trail from the AOG event is complete when the aircraft flies.
