Aircraft on the ground (AOG) situations demand precision, speed, and absolute reliability. At T&C Logistics, we understand that every minute grounded costs thousands in lost revenue. Based in the UK and serving Portsmouth, Southampton, and the wider South East, we specialise in urgent Aviation AOG support with 24/7 dispatch, GPS-tracked deliveries, and direct connections to Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, and 11 other major UK airports. Whether you need a critical component rushed from London to Portsmouth International, or emergency parts routed via Southampton, we've got the infrastructure and expertise to get your aircraft back in the air.
What is Aviation AOG Support?
Aviation AOG (Aircraft on Ground) support is the emergency logistics backbone of the aviation industry. When an aircraft is grounded due to a missing or failed component, every hour costs the operator significantly. T&C Logistics handles this pressure with a proven track record: we maintain a network of 14 UK airport contacts, operate 24/7 dispatch, and guarantee collection within 30–60 minutes of confirmation. We've supported airlines, MRO (maintenance, repair, and overhaul) facilities, and aircraft leasing companies across the South East for over a decade. Our ULEZ-compliant fleet means we can navigate Portsmouth, Southampton, and London without restrictions, ensuring parts reach their destination on time, every time.
What We Handle for Portsmouth-Based Aviation Operations
Portsmouth is home to significant aerospace and defence operations, and the Port of Portsmouth itself handles critical cargo. We collect and deliver:
- Engine components and seals — from Portsmouth workshops to Heathrow or Southampton overhaul facilities
- Avionics and flight deck systems — routed through our network to UK and EU destinations
- Hydraulic units and structural parts — temperature and vibration-controlled transport
- Urgently sourced parts — we liaise directly with suppliers and consolidate shipments from multiple locations
- International AOG deliveries — EU-bound components via Southampton or direct to Heathrow for onward air freight
"Portsmouth is a critical logistics hub for the South East aviation sector. We've built relationships with MRO teams and suppliers across the city and the Isle of Wight. When a marine engineer calls us at 3 AM with an AOG, we don't ask questions — we mobilise. That's the standard in this industry, and we live it." — Taras, Founder, T&C Logistics
Why Speed Matters: Portsmouth to Heathrow in 90 Minutes
The route from Portsmouth to Heathrow (via the M3, M25, and A4) is approximately 75 miles and takes 90–120 minutes in standard traffic. T&C Logistics operates GPS-tracked vehicles on this corridor daily. We've reduced typical AOG response times from 4–6 hours to 45–75 minutes through dedicated dispatch teams and pre-positioned vehicles. Our 24/7 operation means AOG calls logged at midnight, 3 AM, or Sunday evening are treated with the same urgency as a 9 AM weekday request. We maintain direct contact with ground handlers at Heathrow, Gatwick, and Southampton, meaning your part is logged and tracked from collection to aircraft hangar.
Local Coverage: Portsmouth, Gosport, Fareham & Beyond
We operate across Portsmouth city centre, the naval dockyard area, Gosport, Fareham, Havant, and the wider Solent region. Our team knows the local roads — Tipner Lane, A27, A3(M) approach to Hindhead — and can navigate to aerospace suppliers, aircraft maintenance facilities, and distribution centres without delay. We also serve Bournemouth and the Dorset coast, with regular airport runs to Southampton International (SOU), Bournemouth International (BOA), and connections to Gatwick and Luton for onward air freight. This regional density means we can consolidate multiple urgent shipments and reduce costs for regular AOG operators.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How quickly can T&C Logistics collect an AOG part from Portsmouth?
- We guarantee collection within 30–60 minutes of confirmation during business hours (06:00–22:00), and as soon as physically possible during 24/7 emergency windows. Our Portsmouth-based drivers and pre-positioned vehicles mean most calls result in collection within 45 minutes. Once collected, we track every delivery in real-time via GPS, so you know exactly where your component is at all times.
- Do you deliver to Heathrow, Gatwick, and other UK airports?
- Yes. We have direct relationships and drop-off agreements with ground handlers at Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton, Manchester, Birmingham, East Midlands, Bristol, Southampton, Bournemouth, Exeter, Norwich, Belfast, and Edinburgh. We also arrange international air freight forwarding via our courier partnerships, so AOG parts can be routed onward to EU, US, or APAC destinations within hours of collection.
- Can you handle temperature-controlled or hazardous AOG shipments?
- Absolutely. Our fleet includes specialised temperature-controlled vehicles for electronics, avionics, and sensitive hydraulic components. For hazardous materials (oils, solvants, lithium batteries), we comply with IATA DGR and UK CAA regulations and provide full documentation and packing certification. We also offer vibration-damped secure crates for high-value or fragile components like landing gear and engine seals.

- We cover Portsmouth city, Gosport, Fareham, Havant, Waterlooville, Southsea, and the Isle of Wight via Southampton ferry connections. We also regularly serve Bournemouth (45 minutes south), Winchester, and Southampton itself. For wider coverage, our national network means we can consolidate multi-location AOG shipments and deliver from anywhere in the UK within 18–24 hours.
