Aircraft operations often involve the use of ground equipment, as well as other aircraft, at terminals.  Aircraft may be damaged from this auxiliary equipment which is in close proximity to the fuselage and wing components. Even trivial impacts and dents on an aircraft while on the ground may be serious enough to ground it. In the airline industry a grounded aircraft can mean substantial loss of revenue.  Large networks are required to service all of the needs of an aircraft when in a grounded situation. AOG is a time critical market and AAI can help to coordinate FAA certified repair efforts, perform Non-destructive inspections and aid in the transfer of sensitive component shipments. Our AOG services provide the customer direct access to our technical staff, network and technicians around-the-clock.
