AIRCRAFT ON GROUND SOLUTION
Rapid AOG
response.
Urgent transport of reverse thruster
to avoid aircraft downtime.
When an aircraft was grounded in
Amsterdam, the client needed to
transport a reverse thruster to resume
operations quickly.
The AOG request came in at 1700 on
Thursday 11th July, with approval
granted the same day by 2030 hours.
The 2,500-pound thruster measuring
132" x 132" x 70“ required a cargo
aircraft with a larger door opening. Air
Partner arranged a Boeing B747-400F
for the transport. The thruster was
trucked from Minneapolis, MN, to
Chicago, IL, for the flight scheduled
to depart on Saturday 13th July.
The shipment was successfully
delivered to AMS on Sunday 14th July.
