AOG & Aviation Logistics: ALN has its partner in France

AOG & aerospace logistics: why a specialized network?

In aviation, every minute counts. An AOG (Aircraft On Ground) situation refers to the unexpected grounding of an aircraft, usually due to a technical failure or the unavailability of a critical component. Managing AOG logistics requires extreme responsiveness, absolute reliability, and seamless global coordination.

Whether it’s an AOG, a production stoppage or a delay to an aeronautical program, the consequences of poorly controlled logistics can be immediate and far-reaching, both operationally and financially.

Aeronautical logistics demands high standards: 24/7 availability, international coordination, perfect knowledge of regulations and the ability to intervene immediately on time-critical flows. These constraints explain why we rely on specialized, tried-and-tested partners, organized in a network.

Aviation Logistics Network (ALN)

Aviation Logistics Network (ALN) is an independent association of selected international logistics providers dedicated to time-critical aeronautical and aerospace transport.

ALN operates 24/7 for the emergency transport of aeronautical parts, the management of AOG situations and time-critical logistics flows. The network comprises over 300 stations worldwide, combining international coverage with local expertise.

ALN is ISO 9001 and AEO certified, and a member of leading professional organizations such as Aviation Supplies AssociationADS and the Royal Aeronautical Society.
