AOG Courier & Aircraft On Ground Shipping Services

AOG Courier & Aircraft Parts Delivery Service

Aircraft grounded and waiting on a part? Redline Courier Service provides 24/7 AOG courier and aircraft parts delivery across California for airlines, MROs, FBOs, repair stations, parts distributors, aerospace suppliers and maintenance teams that cannot afford unnecessary delay.

What Is AOG Delivery?

AOG means Aircraft on Ground. When an aircraft cannot return to service because a required component, tool or maintenance item is somewhere else, the transportation problem becomes time-critical. AOG courier service is built to move that item directly from supplier, warehouse, cargo facility or repair station to the maintenance team as quickly and predictably as practical.

The correct route depends on the part location, aircraft location, required delivery time, shipment dimensions and whether ground or air transportation provides the faster door-to-door solution.

Aircraft Parts and Aerospace Materials We Move

• Avionics, instruments and electronic components
• Actuators, valves, pumps and hydraulic components
• Wheels, brakes and landing-gear components
• Engine parts, accessories and maintenance items
• Serialized rotables and replacement components
• Tooling, test equipment and ground-support materials
• Cabin, interior and cargo-system parts
• Maintenance documents and time-critical aerospace materials

If a shipment has batteries, hazardous materials, unusual dimensions or other special characteristics, tell dispatch before pickup so the transportation plan can be evaluated correctly.

Direct AOG Courier vs. Next Flight Out

Not every aircraft part should go to the airport. For an in-state move, a dedicated ground vehicle may beat air once cargo cutoff, tender, flight time, release and final-mile delivery are considered. For longer distances, Next Flight Out courier service can combine priority ground transportation with the earliest practical air routing.

The goal is the fastest practical door-to-maintenance-team solution, not simply the fastest-sounding transportation mode.

Airport Cargo Recovery for AOG Parts

If the part is already flying into California, Redline Courier Service can support airport cargo recovery and the final delivery to the hangar, FBO, repair station or maintenance location. Dispatch coordinates around cargo-release information, receiving instructions and the actual aircraft deadline so the shipment keeps moving after arrival.

This is especially valuable when an out-of-state supplier or another logistics provider has already arranged the air leg and the maintenance team needs a dependable California recovery courier.

How AOG Courier Service Works

1. Call dispatch: provide the part location, aircraft location, deadline, dimensions, weight and contacts.
2. Evaluate the route: dispatch determines whether direct drive, airport recovery or NFO is the practical option.
3. Priority pickup: the assigned courier collects the part from the supplier, warehouse, will-call counter or cargo facility.
4. Direct movement: the shipment travels according to the selected route while dispatch monitors the courier leg.
5. Maintenance handoff: delivery is completed to the designated hangar, FBO, repair station or receiving contact.
6. Proof of delivery: completion is documented for the shipper and maintenance team.

What Information Should You Give AOG Dispatch?

• Pickup company and complete address
• Aircraft location, airport, hangar, FBO or maintenance facility
• Required delivery time
• Part description, number of pieces, dimensions and weight
• Part number or reference information when applicable
• Pickup and receiving contacts with working phone numbers
• Cargo-release or airway-bill information for airport recovery
• Security, gate, dock or after-hours access instructions
• Any batteries, hazardous materials or special-handling characteristics

AOG Support for Airlines, MROs, FBOs and Aerospace Suppliers

Aircraft-on-ground emergencies touch more than the airline. Redline Courier Service supports the companies behind the repair: parts distributors, MRO operations, FBOs, repair stations, aerospace manufacturers, maintenance providers and suppliers coordinating urgent replacement components.

For recurring movement between facilities, our scheduled courier routes can support planned parts movement while 24/7 AOG dispatch remains available for the jobs that cannot wait.

California Airport and Aerospace Coverage

Redline Courier Service provides statewide ground support for AOG and aerospace shipments across major California aviation markets, including Los Angeles, Ontario, Burbank, Van Nuys, Long Beach, San Diego, the Bay Area, Sacramento and regional aviation communities throughout the state.

Our city network includes airport-focused markets such as Inglewood and LAX, Van Nuys, Burbank, Ontario, Camarillo and Santa Maria.

AOG Courier for Oversized and Heavier Aircraft Parts

Aircraft parts are not always small cartons. Larger components, tooling and support equipment may require a cargo van, box truck or other freight vehicle rather than a standard courier car. Redline Courier Service can evaluate the shipment dimensions and weight and match the move with an appropriate ground option.

For larger commercial loads, see our same-day and expedited freight service.

AOG Courier Frequently Asked Questions

Is AOG courier service available 24/7?

Yes. Redline Courier Service dispatch operates 24/7/365 for urgent AOG and aircraft-parts delivery requests.

Can Redline Courier Service recover aircraft parts from airline cargo?

Yes. Redline Courier Service can coordinate California airport cargo recovery and final-mile delivery when the required release information and receiving instructions are available.

Can you move an aircraft part from another state?

Redline Courier Service can coordinate the California ground legs of a Next Flight Out move and connect AOG delivery with air transportation when appropriate for the deadline.

Can large aircraft parts move by courier?

Often yes. The correct vehicle depends on dimensions, weight, packaging and handling requirements. Provide accurate measurements before dispatch so the correct option can be evaluated.

Do you provide proof of delivery?

Yes. Delivery completion can be documented for the shipper and receiving team.

What if direct drive is faster than air?

Then ground transportation may be the better solution. Redline Courier Service evaluates the actual delivery deadline rather than automatically forcing an urgent part into an air route.

Don’t see your industry — or your kind of delivery?

That list is simply where most of our volume sits. It is not a list of who we accept. If it fits in a vehicle and has a deadline, dispatch will move it. A hospital network or a two-person shop. A production running nights. A law firm, a wholesaler, a school, a church, a contractor, a gallery. Or one person who needs something across town today and has never booked a courier in their life.

There is no account to open, no contract, and no minimum volume — and you get a price before anything moves. Describe what needs to go where and by when, and you will get a straight answer, including if we are not the right transport for it.
