What three letters are an air charter broker's worst nightmare? "𝐀𝐎𝐆". The term "AOG" or "Aircraft On Ground" is used in the aviation industry to indicate that a problem is serious enough to prevent an aircraft from flying. AOG situations can arise due to various reasons, including mechanical failures, maintenance issues, or damage to the aircraft. As much as AOG situations are the worst nightmare of charter brokers and our clients alike, they are, unfortunately, part and parcel of the aviation industry and happen occasionally. However, as a responsible broker, the vital part is handling these situations to ensure minimal disruption to the client and the original itinerary. Last week, the team at Sentient Signature - Air Charter Specialists and I were faced with an AOG situation on a transatlantic flight due to depart the following morning. Sadly, the nature of AOG situations usually means we only have a matter of hours to react and find a suitable solution to the problem. Nonetheless, with the help of the fantastic team at Planet Nine Private Air, we were able to source this stunning BOMBARDIER Global Express as a replacement aircraft. Following the procurement of the necessary permits, we had our clients on their way across 'The Pond' with the least disruption possible. #PrivateJet #PrivateJetCharter #AirCharter #AOG #AircraftOnGround #AirCharterBroker #Bombardier #GlobalExpress Kate Mihailovic Kirti Odedra

When an aircraft on ground situation occurs unexpectedly, the elements of chaos are in place. What now? How do we get to our destination? Who can help? When you charter a flight with a broker, be sure to ask them what their policy is if the plane is unable to take off for one reason or another. Aircraft on ground situations are always unexpected and not all brokers have the ability to do anything in the event of an unexpected situation. Our policy in AOG situations is: “We will never leave you stranded.” And that’s a promise.

Alaska Airlines to Acquire Hawaiian Airlines: Breaking News #AlaskaAirlines #HawaiianAirlines #AirlineMerger #AviationNews #BreakingNews #AirlineAcquisition #TravelUpdates #IndustryNews #AirlinesDeal #AviationBusiness

The end of 2023 has brought with it optimism for air cargo demand in 2024, even if, according to the experts, we shouldn’t count on it lasting. One carrier that is certainly excited for 2024 is new British cargo airline, One Air, which earlier this week added its second 747-400F. Chief operating officer Chris Hope offers an insight into the ambitious freighter operator in Air Cargo News’ Winter 2023 issue, out now! Also included in our Winter issue is a look at how Heathrow Airport is improving operational efficiency, why Emirates is building capacity, the latest developments in the animal transport sector and what steps are being taken to decarbonise the industry. Even if we don’t all agree on the best pathway to becoming greener – as the industry moves towards the net zero emissions by 2050 goal it’s heartening to see distinctions being made between terminology, sustainability and decarbonisation being one example. #aircargo #airfreight #logistics #supplychains #freighters One Air Heathrow Intradco Global Qatar Airways International Air Transport Association (IATA) Liege Airport Air Canada Cargo Neste Air France KLM Martinair Cargo Royal Schiphol Group Worldwide Flight Services (WFS) Pledge Emirates SkyCargo https://lnkd.in/gbCBEs2k

Southwest S*cks & Scr*ws Customers, But Blue Skies Tampa Departure - IMRAN™ The shameful way Southwest Airlines $©®w€$ passengers where it has no major competitors turned me off from this airline I was loyal to for a quarter century. They literally gouge passengers going from Florida to Long Island, New York. If they charge $200 Tampa to expensive LaGuardia Airport NY, where Delta Air Lines offers great competing service, Southwest charges (for example) $350 to nearby Islip MacArthur Airport which is maybe just 10 extra nautical miles of flying — and has much lower landing costs. And you’re lucky if there’s one nonstop available without going through nightmare BWI airport. Why? Because there’s no actual Delta Airlines service to KISP Long Island for a decade or more. And Southwest, famous for flying danger Boeing 800 MAX planes, exploits people in such areas. From a frequent flier on Southwest Airlines for ~25 years, I’ve become someone who is only using it as a last resort to use up my 100,000 points. Beyond that, I consider it an airline that doesn’t “LUV” but sc*ws its passengers. This was a beautiful day to depart Tampa. The SWA flight cost about a quarter of my balance. Couple more “free” flights like this and I’ll be done. I will endeavor to never fly SWA with new purchased tickets again. © 2024 IMRAN™ #IMRAN #flying #Southwest #TPA #Tampa #airport #runway #aviation #aircraft #Boeing #CX #PriceGouging #SouthwestSucks
