AOG: Airline Support Teams

We come to wherever you are

We quickly get you airborne again

An AOG situation is a worst-case scenario for you, but we know how to handle it! No matter where the AOG occurs – just give us a call and we will send you help quickly! One of our Airline Support Teams (AST®) will be sent directly to the location of the affected aircraft for on-site repairs.

Our teams – experienced mechanics, engineers, material suppliers and inspectors – are working worldwide, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. In most AOG-cases you will need spare parts. No problem for us: we also maintain a substantial pool of spares for both non-routine exchanges and planned overhauls. Logistics are handled by our subsidiary Lufthansa Technik Logistik Services which can deliver a spare whenever and wherever it is needed. In short: we do everything to get your aircraft back in the air while keeping the budget down to earth.

Minimal downtime for major damages

AOG Major Repairs 

Wing damage, tail strike or structural compromise – when a major incident or accident occurs on an aircraft, it is grounded and no further operation is possible. For you, that means high costs and operational uncertainty. 

To minimize your downtime, we assemble a dedicated team of the right experts from our global network for each case  - ready to deploy wherever your aircraft is grounded.

Consulting and assessment on-site

Good advice can save you money

Our AST® solutions also include consulting and assessment services on-site. To save you unnecessary overhaul expenditures, the next time you have your doubts about – for example – your aircraft's undercarriage or engine, you might consider calling our on-wing AST® experts first. These high-grade specialists can quickly determine whether the unit needs to be removed or whether the problems can be fixed on-site to help you avoid a costly overhaul. 

Overhaul on-site

Overhaul at home

Beyond classic on-site repairs, our mobile AST® specialists also support you with overhauls – for example, of nacelles – in alignment with a major airframe check. It can be performed either at one of our base maintenance stations or directly at your site. This approach eliminates transportation costs and lengthy turnaround times – and therefore offers significant savings.

Needless to say: any work on-site is done according to the standard of quality for which Lufthansa Technik is renowned.
