When every minute literally costs money
An aircraft grounded because a part is missing costs an airline on average between €10,000 and €150,000 per hour, depending on the aircraft type and scheduled flights. An AOG situation is not a logistics problem to be solved tomorrow, it must be solved today, preferably within 2 hours.

No consolidation, no stops, no waiting for the next run. Our couriers know the routes to Schiphol East, Schiphol Centre and Schiphol Southeast, know where cargo handlers are located and which gates and hangars are at which site.

Frequently asked questions
What exactly is an AOG courier?
AOG stands for Aircraft on Ground, an aircraft that is grounded because a technical part is missing or needs to be replaced. Every hour of ground time costs an airline thousands of euros in missed flights and logistics. An AOG courier ensures the part arrives within hours, whether from a warehouse in Amsterdam or via Schiphol Cargo.
How fast are you on-site at Schiphol or at an MRO supplier?
In Amsterdam and surrounding areas we pick up within 30 minutes, often faster. For Schiphol Cargo and the hangars at Schiphol East we are on-site within 25 minutes on average. For AOG express assignments we have a courier on standby 24/7.
Can you also deliver AWB and air freight documents to handlers?
Yes, we deliver Airway Bills (MAWB and HAWB), customs documents, certificates of origin and CMR papers directly to cargo handlers at Schiphol Centre and Schiphol Southeast. We know the routes and can often deliver within 1 hour of pickup.
Do you transport dangerous goods?
For specific DGR shipments we discuss the classification, the IATA DGR category and the correct packaging in advance. Our couriers are familiar with safety protocols for light DGR shipments. For heavy hazard classes we refer to specialised DGR carriers.
Can we set up a fixed AOG agreement with SLA?
Yes, for airlines, MRO companies and cargo agents we work with SLA contracts, fixed rates and a dedicated contact person. We guarantee pickup time, transit time and have backup couriers on standby for peak moments.
