The acronym AOG comes from the English term ‘Aircraft On Ground
The acronym AOG stands for “Aircraft On Ground”.
It refers to an aircraft being unable to operate, often due to technical issues, but sometimes also because of adverse weather conditions. When an aircraft is grounded due to a technical failure, the consequences can be severe.
For a commercial airline, every grounded flight represents a financial loss of several thousand euros.
In the case of helicopters used by emergency medical services (such as SAMU), civil protection, or the French Navy, the stakes are life-critical — a grounded helicopter may mean lives cannot be saved.
When it comes to military or gendarmerie aircraft, national security can be directly impacted.
Replacing the faulty part as quickly as possible becomes essential — and that’s where we come in, as urgent transport specialists.
When the label “AOG” appears on a package, it signals that the contents are intended for a critical situation where every minute counts. This marking alerts logistics teams and carriers that the shipment requires maximum priority handling. The objective is to minimize transit time and eliminate delays.

Qu’il s’agisse d’un transport direct depuis le fournisseur jusque chez l’utilisateur final, ou bien d’un pré acheminement vers un Aéroport, ou post acheminement depuis un aéroport (car parfois les pièces proviennent de loin, ou bien encore sont destinées à l’export, et de ce fait elles doivent transiter par avion), nous intervenons selon tout type de scénarios.
Enfin, en fonction du volume/poids de la pièce à transporter, l’opération sera réalisée sur mesure, en camionnette ou en poids lourds !Whether it’s a direct transport from the supplier to the end user, a pre-carriage to an airport, or a post-carriage from an airport (since parts often come from abroad or are intended for export and must therefore transit by air), we handle all types of scenarios.
Finally, depending on the volume and weight of the part to be transported, the operation is fully customized — whether it requires a van or a heavy truck!
