AOG Courier UK — Emergency Aviation Parts Delivery
An AOG courier is a dedicated same-day delivery service for Aircraft on Ground emergencies — when a failed part has grounded an aircraft. A driver collects the replacement part and drives direct to the airport within 60 minutes, 24/7, with no hub stops. Every minute of downtime can cost an airline thousands of pounds, so speed is the only metric that matters.
What Is AOG?
AOG — Aircraft on Ground — is the most expensive two words in aviation. When an aircraft is grounded because a critical part has failed, every minute of downtime costs the airline thousands of pounds in lost revenue, passenger rebooking, crew rescheduling, and operational cascade effects across their entire network. Speed is not a luxury in AOG logistics; it is the only metric that matters. Same Day Express Couriers provides dedicated, direct vehicle dispatch for AOG parts deliveries to every major UK airport, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. No hub delays, no multi-drop routes, no sorting warehouse bottlenecks — just a driver collecting your part and driving straight to the aircraft.

AOG Courier FAQ
What is AOG and why does it need a specialist courier?
AOG stands for Aircraft on Ground — the aviation industry term for an aircraft that cannot fly because a critical part is missing or has failed. Every hour an aircraft is grounded costs the airline thousands of pounds in lost revenue, passenger rebooking, and operational disruption. A specialist AOG courier provides the fastest possible delivery of replacement parts, often within hours, to get the aircraft back in service. Standard parcel networks cannot meet these timelines because they rely on consolidation and hub sorting.
Can your drivers access airside at UK airports?
Our drivers have experience with airside delivery procedures at major UK airports. While airside access passes are issued by individual airports and require specific clearance, we coordinate with airport operations teams and ground handling agents to ensure parts are delivered as close to the aircraft as possible, as quickly as possible. We recommend providing airside contact details at the time of booking for fastest delivery.
How quickly can you dispatch for an AOG emergency?
Our 24/7 dispatch desk allocates a vehicle within 15 minutes of your call. For AOG runs, we prioritise the fastest available vehicle and route. Collection is typically within 30-60 minutes depending on the parts location, and the driver travels direct to the airport, with driver details provided on dispatch and a timestamped proof of delivery on arrival.
