We regularly collect AOG (Aircraft on Ground) aerospace components, temperature-controlled pharmaceutical shipments, high-value technology, time-sensitive documents, perishables including Scottish food exports, and fashion and e-commerce stock requiring urgent international dispatch.
- AOG (Aircraft on Ground) parts: Critical aerospace components requiring immediate dispatch to repair facilities worldwide. These often can't wait 24 hours.

"Glasgow is one of the UK's underrated logistics powerhouses. The businesses here ship globally every day, and they need partners who understand that AOG and pharmaceutical freight can't wait. We've built our Glasgow operation around 30-60 minute collections because in air freight, 15 minutes can mean the difference between making a flight and missing a week's business." — Taras, Founder, T&C Logistics
