AOG in Commercial Aviation: The Challenge and the Solution

The Challenge

Aircraft on Ground (AOG) is a term used in aviation to describe a situation where an aircraft, whether commercial or private, cannot fly due to a technical issue. This means that the plane has been grounded and is unable to reenter rotation until it is approved for flight.

AOG can be caused by a myriad of reasons, including flight scheduling conflicts or weather, but sometimes in-service planes can also be grounded for mechanical reasons. When this is the case, commercial aircraft cannot return to service until they’re repaired, inspected, and approved.

The financial cost of AOG is significant. A grounded aircraft not only causes a huge inconvenience to passengers but can also be a big financial burden on airlines.?For instance, the recent AOG Technics case has highlighted the challenges of parts traceability and the potential financial implications of unapproved parts in the supply chain.
