Volga-Dnepr Group has launched an aircraft-on-ground service to manage the delivery of urgent spare parts to aircraft stranded around the world.

“As aircraft operators ourselves and as a provider of transportation and logistics services to the aerospace industry for the last 28 years, we know only too well how important it is to have a fast, trackable and managed solution to deal with AOG situations,” said Robert van de Weg, vice president of sales and marketing at Volga-Dnepr Group. “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 optimization 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.”

The service will be supported 24/7 by a team of aviation professionals and will use either air charter or scheduled cargo services, utilizing the group’s fleet of Antonov An-124-100, Ilyushin Il-76TD-90VD, Boeing 737 and 747 freighters, according to Volga-Dnepr.
