When an aircraft is grounded, every minute costs money. T&C Logistics delivers Aviation AOG (Aircraft on Ground) support across Reading and the South East, with rapid collection from Heathrow and all major UK airports. Our 24/7 dispatch team handles critical parts, components, and documentation with GPS tracking and priority routing — because flight schedules wait for no one.
Aviation AOG Support in Reading: When Speed is Critical
Reading is a major logistics hub just 40 minutes from Heathrow Airport via the M4 corridor, making it an ideal location for rapid AOG response. Aircraft on Ground situations demand immediate action — a delayed engine component, hydraulic unit, or electronic system can ground a £100m+ aircraft and disrupt schedules across multiple hubs. T&C Logistics has handled over 1,200 AOG collections annually, with average response times of 42 minutes from dispatch to collection. Our Reading-based operation connects directly to Heathrow, London Stansted, London Gatwick, and Manchester Airport via the M1 and M6, ensuring critical parts reach your aircraft without delay.
What We Handle in Our AOG Service
Our Aviation AOG Support covers engine components, avionics, landing gear assemblies, hydraulic systems, cabin parts, and time-sensitive documentation. We manage emergency collections from suppliers across the UK — whether it's a specialist workshop in Leicester, a parts warehouse in Birmingham, or a manufacturer on the South Coast. Every shipment is tracked in real-time via GPS, and our drivers are briefed on AOG protocols to ensure secure, documented chain of custody.
"AOG isn't about logistics — it's about keeping aircraft flying. In Reading, we're positioned perfectly to serve both Heathrow and European operations. A single delayed component costs airlines thousands per hour, which is why our 24/7 team never sleeps on AOG calls." — Taras, Founder, T&C Logistics

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is AOG and why is speed so critical?
- AOG (Aircraft on Ground) means an aircraft is grounded due to missing or faulty parts — costing airlines £10,000–£50,000+ per hour in lost revenue, crew delays, and passenger disruptions. Speed is critical because every hour an aircraft sits idle impacts schedules across multiple routes and hubs. T&C Logistics prioritises AOG collections with 24/7 dispatch and average 42-minute response times.
- How quickly can you collect an AOG part from Reading?
- We offer 30–60 minute collection from any location in Reading, Berkshire, or surrounding areas. For emergency AOG calls, our dispatch team can have a vehicle mobile within 15 minutes of order confirmation. Heathrow delivery typically follows within 45–75 minutes depending on terminal and cargo zone location.
- Do you handle Heathrow Airport delivery directly?
- Yes — we have established protocols and direct handover arrangements at Heathrow Terminals 2, 3, 4, and 5, plus the Cargo zone. Our drivers are briefed on aviation security, IATA compliance, and priority handling procedures. We can coordinate arrival times with your MRO or ground handling team to minimise handover delays.
- What types of aircraft components can you transport?
- We handle engines, avionics, landing gear, hydraulic systems, cabin parts, electronic components, and urgent documentation. All shipments maintain chain of custody documentation and GPS tracking. For hazardous materials (batteries, oils, etc.), we advise on IATA compliance and can arrange specialist transport if needed.
- Can you track an AOG shipment in real-time?
- Yes — every AOG collection includes real-time GPS tracking from pickup through airport delivery. You receive live location updates and proof of delivery, ensuring full visibility and accountability. This is essential for compliance documentation and confirms timely arrival to your airline or MRO partner.
