Homonym: AOG (Aircraft)
AOG stands for "Aircraft on Ground," a term used in the aviation industry to describe an aircraft that is unable to fly due to technical issues, maintenance, or lack of necessary parts. This situation can lead to significant delays and financial losses for airlines, as grounded aircraft cannot generate revenue.
To resolve AOG situations, airlines often prioritize the procurement of spare parts and technical support. This may involve contacting suppliers or manufacturers, such as Boeing or Airbus, to expedite repairs. Efficient management of AOG incidents is crucial for maintaining flight schedules and customer satisfaction.
