On-demand AOG charter, rotable and consumable parts recovery, and time-critical aviation freight across Australia and the Asia-Pacific, built around aviation downtime cost, not airline timetables.

An aircraft on the ground is rarely a freight problem, it is an operational, commercial and reputational problem with a freight component sitting in the middle of it. Aviall runs AOG logistics as a single door-to-door mission: locate the part, source the aircraft, build the permits and ground handling, and deliver the part into the engineer's hands at the receiving station. Quotes inside the hour, written wheels-up window, and a single accountable owner from booking to delivery.
Which aircraft fits decides the usable airports and staging hubs.
AOG logistics demand is driven by airline, defence, corporate, charter and rotor-wing operators with a grounded aircraft, a known part, and a downtime cost that outweighs every other variable. The trigger is operational, not financial, and the right answer is almost always the fastest practical aircraft tier matched to the part.
If you are planning more than one lift, these pages cover the sequencing.
Engine, avionics and structural parts recovery for scheduled airline operators.
Aviation parts and technician movements into Australian and partner-nation defence sites.
Single-component recovery for business jet and FBO operators.
Lift and parts coordination during major checks and unplanned findings.
Movement of engineering tooling, ground support equipment and technicians.
One owner from booking through customs, handling and apron delivery.

Mission examples · Illustrative
Representative mission profiles drawn from recurring work. Identifying details, operators, hospitals, routes, aircraft tail numbers, are intentionally omitted.
An ASX-listed resources operator faced a stalled processing line waiting on a single oversized component too large for any scheduled freighter. Aviall sourced an outsize main-deck nose-loader, completed pavement and load-spread checks at the regional destination, and coordinated road movement permits at both ends.
Outcome
Component on site inside 72 hours of first call; production line restart same week.
A major carrier had a wide-body grounded at a foreign hub, awaiting a replacement engine sitting in a domestic MRO. Aviall positioned a freighter to the MRO, coordinated dangerous goods documentation for the engine and stand, and held a flight-following bridge with the airline's tech ops cell door-to-door.
Outcome
Engine wheels-up inside 14 hours of release; aircraft returned to service the next operational day.
A global health programme required a high-value biologics consignment moved on a controlled cool-chain into the Asia-Pacific without consolidation risk. Aviall chartered a freighter dedicated to the shipment, with active containers, written ramp-time targets, and continuous data-logger oversight.
Outcome
Zero temperature excursions; chain-of-custody documentation closed within 24 hours of landing.
A government end user needed a Class 1 consignment moved on a tight window after scheduled carriers declined the booking. Aviall identified an operator approved for the class, completed the DG paperwork, NOTOC and security plan, and ran a single-shipper rotation under a controlled handling regime.
Outcome
Movement completed inside the customer's window with full regulatory close-out.
Following a sudden-onset disaster in the wider region, an aid consortium needed shelter, water and medical kit moved on consecutive days into a damaged airfield with reduced services. Aviall built a rotation plan around aircraft suited to the strip and pre-positioned ground handling support.
Outcome
Sustained airlift maintained across consecutive days without diversion.
A premium agri-export business required a single-shipper rotation during a tight harvest window when scheduled belly capacity was full. Aviall chartered a freighter sized to the volume and held a slot pattern at the destination customs gateway across the season.
Outcome
Full season's volume cleared without missed shelf dates at the destination market.

FAQ
For a positioned light jet or turboprop, wheels-up in three to six hours from confirmed booking is standard. Narrowbody freighters typically need 6 to 12 hours for positioning and permits; widebody and outsize moves need longer lead times.

Why operators, brokers and end clients keep calling back
"Quote came back inside the hour with two aircraft options, written wheels-up windows and the cost-versus-time trade-off laid out. That is what we expect and rarely get."
, Project logistics manager · Resources sector
"Documentation, NOTOCs and DG paperwork were closed before we'd finished briefing our customer. No back-and-forth, no surprises at the ramp."
, Senior freight forwarder · Global 3PL
"They run the mission like an operator, not like a broker. That distinction matters when the cargo is heavy, the route is hard and the clock is real."
