Aircraft on Ground (AOG) logistics is one of the most demanding areas of air cargo. When an aircraft is unexpectedly grounded, the movement of a single critical component can decide how quickly it returns to service, and how well airlines protect schedules, costs, and customer commitments.
IAG Cargo has introduced a new AOG service, a dedicated high-priority solution for the urgent transport of time-critical aircraft parts across its global network. The service is designed for aerospace shipments that require speed, control, and specialist coordination, including components such as radar units, fuel pumps, gearboxes, brake units, and other high-value aircraft parts.
The new solution is supported by a specialist team available 24/7, offering live updates, personalised shipment oversight, and hands-on support throughout the journey. For time-critical aerospace logistics, this level of visibility and control is essential, especially when parts must move across complex international supply chains with very little notice.
Backed by IAG Cargo’s network of more than 250 destinations worldwide, including strong connectivity across Europe and North America, the AOG service strengthens access to key aircraft manufacturing, maintenance, and repair hubs. It also reinforces the growing importance of reliable air cargo solutions for industries where delays can create significant operational and financial impact.
For the NAP ecosystem, this development highlights a key reality in modern air cargo logistics: speed alone is not enough. Time-critical shipments need specialist handling, global reach, trusted partners, and clear communication from origin to destination. IAG Cargo’s AOG launch reflects the type of focused, high-value air cargo capability that supports operational resilience across the aviation supply chain.
