AOG Shipments

AOG shipments enter the logistics workflow the moment an aircraft operator declares a technical grounding and flags the missing component as an emergency requirement.

Quick Answer

AOG shipments enter the logistics workflow the moment an aircraft operator declares a technical grounding and flags the missing component as an emergency requirement.

The consignment is immediately marked with AOG status, jumps standard freight queues, and moves to the destination airport with pre-coordinated customs clearance.

Airlines, ground handlers, and customs authorities recognise AOG markings and apply preferential processing – a distinction that is operationally significant compared with routine express cargo.

Definition & Explanation

AOG shipments enter the logistics workflow the moment an aircraft operator declares a technical grounding and flags the missing component as an emergency requirement. The consignment is immediately marked with AOG status, jumps standard freight queues, and moves to the destination airport with pre-coordinated customs clearance. Airlines, ground handlers, and customs authorities recognise AOG markings and apply preferential processing – a distinction that is operationally significant compared with routine express cargo. Depending on content, shipments may also fall under dangerous goods regulations (IATA DGR), adding documentation and packaging requirements that AOG specialists are specifically trained to handle under time pressure.
