AOG air freight: urgent aircraft parts to and from Finland

When an aircraft is on ground (AOG), we move the replacement part on the next available flight, or with an on-board courier when that is faster. Our team works on site in the Helsinki Airport cargo area every working day, so we can tender, recover and hand over parts at the terminal ourselves instead of waiting for a third party. AOG requests are handled 24/7.

Which AOG options do you offer?

  • Next flight out (NFO): the part flies as priority air cargo on the first suitable flight, direct or via a hub.
  • On-board courier (OBC): a courier carries the part on a passenger flight and hands it over at destination. This suits small, urgent parts when cargo cut-off times would cost a day.
  • Charter: for large parts or remote destinations we also arrange charter flights.
  • Pickup and delivery: from the stores, MRO or supplier to the aircraft or hangar.

Why does being on site at Helsinki Airport help?

AOG shipments are lost in the gaps between handovers. Our team is in the cargo area every working day: we deliver parts to the airline terminal before cut-off, collect arriving parts as soon as they are released and sort out document questions in person.

Which documents does an aircraft part need?

  • Commercial or pro forma invoice with part number, serial number and value
  • Airworthiness release certificate, such as EASA Form 1 or FAA Form 8130-3, travelling with the part
  • Safety Data Sheet and dangerous goods declaration for parts classed as dangerous goods (for example oxygen generators, batteries or fire extinguisher bottles)
  • For imports from outside the EU: the importer’s EORI number. Parts for civil aircraft may qualify for duty relief with the right certificate.
