In Locatory.com experts’ opinion, the economic recovery has brought into attention another topical problem the aviation sector is increasingly faced with – airlines worldwide lose money over AOG (Aircraft on Ground) situations on a daily basis. According to the latest findings, smaller airlines dealing with AOG situations are deprived of more than USD 20,000 per day.

However, every day modern airlines are faced with various unexpected aircraft maintenance and repair problems costing sky- high sums of money.

According to D. Voskrosensky the isolated Russian market causes the price of solving AOG situations to be several times higher compared to the global average. For example, in China, which is one of the fastest growing aviation markets in the world, AOG situations are solved incomparably faster – the final result is usually achieved within 24 hours. ‘AOG situations remain and are expected to continue being a substantial problem for both large and small aviation companies. In order to at least partially eliminate the problem, we equipped our global platform that is tailored to provide a local feel, allowing its users to employ direct messaging tools and send out several AOG solution requests for multiple service providers at a time.”, - says the Chief Commercial Officer at Locatory.com Vytautas Vorobjovas.
