AOG support focuses on time-critical aircraft requirements where sourcing speed and clear communication can help reduce procurement delays. This guide is intended as a practical starting point for aviation procurement teams evaluating a component requirement.

In an AOG situation, procurement urgency is central. The enquiry should clearly identify the aircraft, part number, quantity, location and required timeline so the sourcing team can focus on the most relevant availability options.

Procurement teams should also describe the expected condition or documentation requirements. Depending on the component and customer requirement, source, condition, traceability and supporting documentation may be important considerations.

For difficult-to-find requirements, a sourcing team may need to check more than one supply path. Global sourcing can involve appropriate manufacturer or authorized channels where available, evaluated suppliers, international stock and specialized aviation supply channels.

The commercial enquiry should make the next action clear. A useful RFQ identifies what is needed, where it must be delivered, when it is needed and any relevant technical or documentation requirements.

Why clear requirements matter

Aircraft procurement can involve multiple checks before a suitable sourcing path is identified. Clear inputs help the sourcing team understand the requirement and communicate with appropriate supply channels.
