When an aircraft is grounded, every minute counts. T&C Logistics delivers Aviation AOG (Aircraft on Ground) support across Cardiff and South Wales with 24/7 dispatch and emergency response times as fast as 30 minutes. Whether you're based at Cardiff Airport, Bristol Airport, or operating from remote airfields across Wales, we specialise in time-critical parts collection, same-day UK delivery, and international air freight coordination. Our ULEZ-compliant fleet and GPS-tracked vehicles ensure your critical components arrive safely and on schedule—because downtime isn't an option.
What is aviation AOG support and why does Cardiff need it?
Aviation AOG (Aircraft on Ground) is the aviation industry's most time-sensitive logistics challenge. When an aircraft is grounded due to a missing component or failed part, airlines face losses of £10,000–£50,000 per hour in revenue. Cardiff-based operators, regional carriers, and maintenance facilities across South Wales depend on rapid, reliable parts delivery to get aircraft back in the air.
"AOG isn't about logistics—it's about keeping aviation safe and operational. We've built our Cardiff operation around the reality that a 10-minute delay in an AOG situation can cascade into cancelled flights and stranded passengers. Our team treats every AOG call like it's their own aircraft on the ground." — Taras, Founder, T&C Logistics
Our Cardiff hub operates round-the-clock dispatch with dedicated AOG coordinators, direct access to Bristol Airport and Swansea airfields, and pre-positioned vehicles across the Vale of Glamorgan and wider Wales region. Whether you need a helicopter part from Swansea, an engine component for a fixed-wing aircraft, or electronics for regional turboprops, we have the infrastructure and expertise to move it now.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is AOG support and why is it critical for Cardiff aircraft operators?
- AOG (Aircraft on Ground) support is emergency logistics for grounded aircraft—when a missing or failed component prevents flight operations. For Cardiff-based operators and regional carriers, AOG downtime costs £500–£5,000 per minute in lost revenue, crew repositioning, and passenger compensation. T&C Logistics provides 24/7 AOG response with 30-60 minute collections and same-day UK delivery to minimise grounding duration.
- How fast can T&C Logistics collect AOG parts from Cardiff or South Wales suppliers?
- Our average collection time is 30-60 minutes for calls within Cardiff and the South Wales region, with some urban collections completed in under 30 minutes. For time-critical AOG situations, we dispatch the nearest vehicle immediately and confirm collection details by phone. International parts collections are coordinated through our UK airport network and air freight partners.
- Can you deliver directly to Cardiff Airport and other Welsh airfields?
- Yes—we have direct cargo handler collection at Cardiff Airport with expedited gate procedures, and we deliver to Bristol Airport, Swansea, Gloucester, and regional airstrips across South Wales. Our team coordinates with aircraft maintenance, ground handling teams, and operations centres to ensure parts are delivered exactly where needed.
- Do you handle temperature-controlled or hazardous AOG components?
- Yes. Our specialist vehicles maintain temperature control for sensitive avionics and electronics, and we're trained in DGR (Dangerous Goods Regulation) shipping for hazardous components including batteries, fuel system parts, and pressurised containers. All hazardous AOG shipments are documented and compliant with CAA and international aviation standards.
- What areas around Cardiff do you cover for AOG support?
- We cover Cardiff, South Wales (Swansea, Carmarthen, Newport, Caerphilly), all major airports within 90 minutes (Bristol, Swansea, Gloucester), and rapid response across the M4/M5 corridor to Midlands, London, and the South Coast. Real-time GPS tracking and 24/7 coordination ensure visibility throughout every AOG movement.
