Aircraft On Ground (AOG) & Hotshot Services
Global Logistics Solutions with Urgency That Matches Your Expectations
SPL has vast levels of experience in AOG, hotshot and charter services for the most valuable, delicate and urgent parts and materials.
Service Description
SPL starts with aircraft on ground AOG logistics including in house expertise on engines (FAA licenced), and covers everything in the MRO parts and materials space. Where customers prefer, our internal FAA A&P licenced personnel can sign off loading and unloading per AMM procedures.
This translates to other industries such as mining or construction where urgent shipments require efficient and focused delivery in tight timeframes.
This includes hotshots ex-airport or shipping terminals to remote areas or any other airport in Australia, or to mine sites where production counts the dollars by the minute.

FAQs About This Service
Can SPL do any aircraft engine?
Yes our experience ranges from the relatively common CFM56 V2500 PW1000G type families, to widebody GE CF6 and RR RB211, to modern platforms such as the Trent 800+ series and the GE9X. This includes modules and cores. Similarly we can cover off modules for key defence platforms.
Does SPL offer additional services for maintenance teams?
SPL is experienced in logistics and requirements for maintenance actions such as engine changes. Shipping engine change kits, spare cradles, tooling and so on is our DNA.
What about parts and smaller shipments?
SPL has the ability to ship urgent aircraft parts using our global network. Many countries are covered in terms of export controls compliance, and we also can ship defence items subject to verifications. AOG shipments for critical large parts such as flight controls, reversers, landing gear or lift devices is a specialty.
I’m an aircraft MRO but my providers don’t know why I need special care?
Our team includes people with FAA licence, decades of aircraft engineering and maintenance experience, and long term experience in supporting airlines, air force contractors, and MRO companies. You won’t struggle with SPL trying to explain what is needed to support a PW1000G series engine change in Perth Australia when the engine needs to come from a PW facility anywhere in the world. We’ve done it all before.
