A tradition of reaching new heights
Aerospace logistics is our bread and butter–it’s where we started and where we continue to lead with incomparable service.
Around the clock AOG service, ready at a moment’s notice
We understand that time equals money, especially when it comes to AOG operations. We’ve created a dedicated AOG team that works around the clock and is driven by a simple mission–to minimize the downtime of our clients’ aircraft by creating innovative solutions to meet any challenge or constraint.
We recognize the urgency inherent to AOG situations, and so do the leading international airlines, who trust us to handle their company materials (COMAT) and AOG programs with our global partners to ensure the coverage needed for next-flight-out, onboard courier, and dedicated vehicle services.
A History of Innovation
We take pride in the history of ingenuity and creativity that has been a driving force behind everything we do.When our founder, Joe Shelala, became the first logistician to move an airframe by commercial airfreight, he put into place a foundation of thinking outside the box to create tangible solutions, and we’ve continued to build on that for over five decades, gaining the knowledge, skills, and experience that now allow us to support the world’s leading aerospace companies.
