We all know how frustrating airports and air transportation can be especially when there are delays involved. It is enough of a hassle to get through the airport and onto your airplane, but no one wants to see their airplane be delayed or grounded once they are on it. On average, it costs $150,000 every hour an airplane is grounded. This makes it imperative for airlines to get the parts needed for repairs as soon as humanly possible.

Aircraft on Ground (AOG) is a common term used in shipping aviation components. Whenever an aircraft is declared AOG, it simply means it has encountered a serious problem that hinders the plane from getting to the sky or running as expected.
