Managing Aircraft on Ground (AOG) – Uptime Logistics

Today on Uptime Logistics, Doug Draper of the Denver Transportation Club interviews “Chip”, an anonymous AOG Manager with a major US airline. After learning a bit about Chip’s background, they discuss all things Aircraft on Ground (AOG) – from what the term means, to overcoming challenges in the supply chain, and why it’s so important to get it right.

Downtime is expensive for businesses generally and in the case of passenger airplanes, each individual flight is important to the people needing to travel. Parts naturally break down and replacements are needed. Other times Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) services are required. Either way, it’s critical to keep a cool head during an AOG crisis, and it definitely helps to have great suppliers and transportation partners on board to help keep flight operations running smoothly – or return to uptime as soon as possible.

Listen today to learn and gain a new level of appreciation for those behind the scenes that keep the aircraft we know and love up and running! https://www.caplogistics.com/cap-logistics/2020/9/10/managing-aircraft-on-ground-aog-uptime-logistics
