AOG Freight Charter Service for Grounded Aircraft

AOG cargo means aircraft-on-ground freight: parts, tools, equipment, or other materials needed to help return a grounded aircraft to service. Because the shipment can affect aircraft availability and business operations, AOG cargo is typically handled through time-critical transportation planning. McMahon coordinates charter aircraft, helicopters, and ground delivery options based on the shipment specifications and required protect time.

McMahon provides round-the-clock support for time-critical shipments. The operations team immediately reviews the freight requirements and targeted protect time, then sources available dedicated charter aircraft through its helicopter fleet and air carrier partners. Actual transportation timing depends on the shipment, aircraft availability, routing, handling requirements, and operating conditions. Customers can contact the team at any time to begin coordination.

Yes. McMahon coordinates turnkey door-to-door transportation, including ground delivery on each end of an air shipment. Depending on the requirement, the solution may combine a helicopter or fixed-wing charter with vans, trucks, specialized handling equipment, and final-mile delivery. This integrated approach gives customers one coordinated logistics solution rather than managing separate air and ground providers.

Not always. McMahon’s dedicated helicopter capabilities can support delivery locations where airport access is unavailable or impractical in many situations. Fixed-wing air cargo charter generally uses airports and coordinated ground transportation, while helicopters may provide additional flexibility for short and medium-range premium freight. The team evaluates the shipment, origin, destination, and operating requirements before recommending available options.

McMahon coordinates several aircraft options based on the shipment and route. Its services include dedicated helicopter cargo charter for short and medium-range premium freight, along with jet and turboprop aircraft operated by air carrier partners for long-range or larger shipments. The final aircraft selection depends on cargo characteristics, routing, availability, handling needs, and the customer’s targeted protect time.
