Time Critical AOG Logistics Worldwide

AOG means Aircraft on Ground. In logistics, AOG describes an urgent situation in which an aircraft cannot operate because a required part, component, tool, or other item is unavailable. AOG logistics focuses on rapidly sourcing transportation and coordinating delivery so maintenance teams can address the issue and reduce operational disruption.

McMahon can coordinate dedicated helicopter cargo charters, jets, and turboprop aircraft through its operating capabilities and air carrier partners. Helicopters support short- and medium-range premium freight and may reach locations without airport access. Fixed-wing aircraft are used for long-range or larger shipments, with the recommended option based on cargo specifications and the targeted protect time.

Yes. McMahon offers turnkey door-to-door coordination, including ground delivery on each end of an air charter shipment. The team can coordinate aircraft, vans, trucks, airport or FBO services, and specialized ground handling equipment as needed. This provides one point of coordination for the shipment rather than requiring the customer to arrange separate transportation providers.

McMahon’s service catalog identifies rapid sourcing and launch capabilities for time-critical freight, including a stated fifteen-minute sourcing time for certain cargo charter services and a fifteen-minute launch time for its helicopter fleet. Actual availability depends on shipment specifications, aircraft suitability, operating conditions, and the requested route.

The operations team uses shipment specifications and the customer’s targeted protect time to identify transportation options. Useful information includes the origin, destination, cargo description, dimensions or weight, packaging, handling requirements, desired delivery objective, and whether airport access is available. Providing complete details helps the team evaluate aircraft and ground transportation requirements.

In most cases, airports are optional for McMahon’s helicopter cargo charter services. This can provide flexibility for plant-to-plant or location-specific deliveries where conventional airport routing is inconvenient. The feasibility of a particular landing or delivery location depends on operational, safety, regulatory, and site considerations reviewed during coordination.

Real-time shipment tracking is available for McMahon’s air cargo charter service. Tracking access and shipment updates can be coordinated as part of the turnkey logistics arrangement. Customers should provide accurate contact and routing information so the operations team can maintain communication throughout the air and ground transportation process.

Yes. McMahon’s emergency parts delivery service can support both one-off shipments and extended supplier-behind-schedule campaigns lasting days or months. The team coordinates the appropriate combination of aircraft and ground resources for the shipment, helping customers manage urgent individual requirements as well as continuing production-support logistics needs.
