Why AOG matters
An aircraft usually operates several flights a day. When it is grounded, each of those flights needs a solution: a spare aircraft, a swap from another route, a delay or a cancellation. AOG is therefore both a maintenance problem and an operations problem, and a common cause of irregular operations.
What airlines track
- Aircraft currently AOG, by station and type
- The technical fault category and its status
- Expected return to service and the resolution timeline
- Flights affected and how they were covered
- AOG events over time, by aircraft, fault type and station, to spot recurring problems
AOG in Wireum Insights
Wireum Insights tracks aircraft on ground with technical fault categorisation and resolution timelines, using data from the airline’s maintenance systems, alongside the live fleet and IROPS. It shows the data; maintenance planning itself stays in the airline’s MRO system.
