Aerospace & Defense
Aircraft-on-Ground recovery, MRO parts, and ITAR-controlled shipments — hand-carried by IATA-accredited couriers who keep your fleet flying and missions on schedule.
Aerospace & Defense Logistics Expertise
When an aircraft is grounded, every minute carries a cost. FlashGL specializes in Aircraft-on-Ground (AOG) recovery for airlines, MRO networks, and defense contractors — moving mission-critical components from any global origin to the aircraft or maintenance bay within hours, not days.
What we move #
- AOG rotables, avionics, and line-replaceable units (LRUs)
- Engine components, brakes, and landing-gear assemblies
- ITAR-controlled and dual-use defense shipments
- Tooling, gauges, and ground-support equipment
How we deliver #
Our On-Board Couriers hand-carry time-critical parts with airside clearance, bypassing cargo-terminal delays. Dedicated AOG desks operate 24/7 with a 15-minute response commitment, while tamper-evident seals, real-time GPS tracking, and full chain-of-custody documentation protect high-value and export-controlled cargo from origin to destination.

Aircraft on Ground? We mobilize in 15 minutes.
Every minute a plane is grounded costs $10,000–$50,000. FlashGL OBC couriers hand-carry critical parts on the next available flight — guaranteed.
The Challenge
A narrow-body is AOG at a hub 8,000 km from your spares warehouse. The replacement LRU exists, but the commercial cargo cut-off has passed and the next freighter is 36 hours out. Each grounded hour cascades into cancelled rotations, stranded passengers, and SLA penalties.
The Solution
FlashGL's AOG desk takes the call, dispatches a courier to the warehouse within the hour, and hand-carries the unit on the next departure — clearing customs under an existing brokerage bond and delivering directly to the airside ramp. The aircraft returns to service the same day.
