Aviation & AOG: Minimal ground time through maximum logistics power.
In aviation, downtime is the biggest cost factor. When an aircraft remains on the ground due to a technical defect (Aircraft on Ground), every second counts. Samedaylogistics is your specialized partner for AOG operations worldwide. We deliver engines, avionics components and critical spare parts precisely to the hangar or directly to the apron.
Air charter & express logistics: the rescue for your flight schedule.
When standard transport routes are too slow, we activate our exclusive charter solutions. An AOG case often requires the capacity of a dedicated cargo aircraft or the security of a personal courier.
AOG Air Charter:
We charter the right aircraft within the shortest possible time to fly even heavy components such as engines or landing gear parts directly to the destination airport without losing time.
On-Board-Courier (OBC):
For smaller, highly critical avionics parts, our couriers personally accompany the shipment on the next available scheduled flight.
Dangerous goods expertise:
Safe transport of batteries, pyrotechnics or chemical substances in compliance with all IATA DGR regulations.
24/7 Control Tower:
Our AOG specialists are available around the clock and know the specific procedures at international airports.
Tailor-made AOG solutions for airlines & MROs.
Engine transports:
Using specialized air charter, we move engines (engine-on-stand) worldwide. We coordinate the entire chain including special equipment for loading and unloading.
Critical spare parts:
Whether landing gear parts, seals or electronics - we use the fastest combination of road and air to support MRO teams (Maintenance, Repair, Overhaul).
Door-to-Tarmac:
We do not only deliver to the airport; we coordinate delivery directly to the aircraft or into the hangar to shorten internal logistics routes.
Proactive status monitoring:
You receive continuous updates on the location of your critical components so your technical teams can plan installation down to the second.
Technical advantage through trained specialists.
An AOG transport often does not fail because of the flight, but because of bureaucracy. Our couriers and logistics experts are intensively trained in all operational processes of the aviation industry.
Particular focus is placed on accelerated customs clearance for aviation spare parts. Our teams know the specific customs procedures for spare parts in cross-border traffic and navigate your freight safely through all checks. This expert knowledge prevents unnecessary delays and ensures that your aircraft is “Ready for Take-off” again as quickly as possible.
