Aviation AOG Support — UK Wide Emergency Response

When an aircraft is grounded, every minute costs thousands. T&C Logistics specialises in emergency Aviation AOG (Aircraft On Ground) support across the UK, delivering critical spare parts, components, and equipment directly from warehouses to aircraft stands. Our 24/7 dispatch team covers all major UK airports—Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Manchester, Birmingham, and 9 others—with average collection times of 30–60 minutes. We understand the urgency: our ULEZ-compliant fleet, real-time GPS tracking, and specialised handling ensure your parts reach the flight deck when operations depend on it.

What Is Aviation AOG Support?

Aircraft On Ground (AOG) support is an emergency logistics service designed for the aviation industry. When an aircraft cannot fly due to a missing or faulty component, every delayed departure impacts airline schedules, passenger confidence, and revenue. AOG logistics providers like T&C Logistics act as the critical link between maintenance engineers, spare parts suppliers, and the aircraft—ensuring time-sensitive parts reach the tarmac faster than standard delivery. We handle everything from engine components and avionics to cabin fixtures and hydraulic systems, with specialist packaging and handling protocols that meet aviation safety standards.

How Aviation AOG Support Works at T&C Logistics

Our AOG process is built for speed and accountability. When you contact us with an AOG request, our 24/7 dispatch team immediately logs the shipment, confirms the collection point (warehouse, supplier, or distribution centre), and assigns a driver to collect within 30–60 minutes across our UK coverage area. We track every stage: pickup confirmation, in-transit GPS updates, and real-time delivery notification to the aircraft maintenance team. Our fleet of 50+ specialised vehicles includes temperature-controlled vans for sensitive electronics, secure containers for high-value avionics, and air-ride suspension for fragile components. Over 1,200 AOG shipments are handled annually by our team, with an average on-time delivery rate of 99.2%.

Unlike standard couriers, we're familiar with aviation paperwork—including component tracking, chain-of-custody documentation, and liaison with airport ground handlers. We work directly with maintenance teams at all 14 UK airports to ensure handover protocols are smooth and parts reach the right technician at the right gate.

"AOG logistics is about trust and speed. Airlines can't afford delays, and we've built our operation around getting parts airside within minutes of receipt. That's what separates us from generic courier services." — Taras, Founder, T&C Logistics

When You Need Aviation AOG Support

AOG situations arise suddenly and unpredictably. Your aircraft might be grounded due to:

• Engine component failure: Fuel pumps, starters, or combustion chamber parts requiring emergency replacement.
• Avionics malfunction: Flight management systems, navigation units, or weather radar units that halt operations.
• Structural or mechanical faults: Landing gear sensors, hydraulic lines, or cabin pressurisation systems.
• Maintenance compliance: Missing service bulletins, inspection certificates, or regulatory components needed before departure.
• Supply chain disruption: A supplier fails to deliver on time, forcing you to source parts from alternative warehouses across the UK.

In each scenario, T&C Logistics provides same-day or immediate-next-flight delivery—whichever is critical for your operation. Our 24/7 availability means we respond at 02:00 on Sunday morning with the same urgency as a weekday peak.
