In aviation, downtime costs more than in almost any other industry: an Aircraft on Ground (AOG) causes high downtime costs per day – the required spare part must therefore reach the aircraft by the fastest permitted route. Speed Logistics drives engine components, avionics, landing-gear parts and MRO material as an express direct transport without transhipment – from the manufacturer or spare-parts store straight to the maintenance facility or to the apron gate of the airport.
Our dispatch team is personally reachable 24/7 and dispatches AOG runs in the shortest possible time; you receive the fixed-price quote within a few hours, including CMR insurance, live GPS tracking and, on request, premium value insurance for high-value components. You speak directly with the dispatcher who controls your journey – not with a hotline.
AOG express: when the aircraft is on the ground
With AOG, every hour counts. The process is therefore radically shortened: a call is enough, we immediately check available vehicles – from the van for an avionics component to the articulated truck for an engine in its transport frame – and start the direct transport while the papers are prepared in parallel. The driver drives through without a stop; over long distances we use two-driver crews so that driving-time limits do not interrupt the transport.
In parallel with the journey we clarify the receiving details: gate, contact, access to the maintenance facility or apron handover. When the vehicle arrives, the reception is prepared – no searching, no waiting, no lost hour at the destination.
What we transport for aviation and MRO
- Engines and engine components in the manufacturer's transport frame, with minimal vibration and air-sprung
- Avionics and electronic components in ESD-compliant packaging, without transhipment
- Landing-gear and structural parts with load securing adapted to each design
- MRO material and tool sets between spare-parts stores and maintenance lines
- Ground support equipment and GSE between stations and works
Weight, centre of gravity and lashing points we clarify before provision – so the equipment fits at loading and the component leaves the plant without waiting time.
Security and documentation for high-value components
Aviation parts are high-value and subject to documentation requirements. We drive secured direct services with sealed vehicles, immobiliser and clear driver security requirements, aligned with the TAPA FSR security standards. Accompanying documents such as release certificates stay complete and undamaged with the shipment; handovers are signed and, on request, photo-documented – seamless from sender to goods inwards at the maintenance facility.
Besides AOG cases we also drive the industry's plannable business: material supply for checks and cabin refits, transfers between spare-parts stores and supply services into production – with the same documentation depth, but at regular-service conditions.
Cross-border: customs, carnet and non-EU countries
If the fleet flies internationally, the deployment locations of the spare parts are international too: we drive aviation components to Türkiye, North Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia – including full customs clearance from EXW to DDP, T1/T2 transit procedure or ATA Carnet for tools and test equipment that come back. Costs depend on urgency, weight, lane and securing effort; AOG options such as a two-driver crew are itemised transparently. Call us – with AOG, the fastest permitted route counts, and we will find it. For plannable transports, send us the shipment data – the fixed-price quote follows within a few hours.
