Volga-Dnepr Group launches global AOG service

July 19, 2018: Volga-Dnepr Group has launched a new aircraft on ground (AOG) service for stranded aircrafts around the world to deliver spare parts to them on urgent basis. 

Supported by a 24/7 team of aviation professionals, it will offer the fastest and most cost-efficient solution using either air charter or scheduled cargo services, utilising the Group’s unique fleet of Boeing 747, Boeing 737, An-124-100 and IL-76TD-90VD freighters. AOG spares carried on the group’s scheduled services in Europe, North America and Asia Pacific will be confirmed on the first available flight.

Robert van de Weg, VP-sales & marketing, Volga-Dnepr Group, said, “As aircraft operators ourselves and as a provider of transportation and logistics services to the aerospace industry for the last 28 years, we know how important it is to have a fast, trackable and managed solution to deal with AOG situations. For every airline, safety and security is their main priority but it is also important to get aircraft operational again, quickly for both customer service and economic reasons when they suffer a technical fault. Airlines are continually focused on improving the reliability of their services through expansion of their fleets, route networks, and optimisation of their aircraft and engines. So it is now more important than ever to have the peace of mind of knowing that pre-emptive solutions are in place to handle their grounded aircraft and to ensure minimal impact to their routine operations.”
