An aircraft on the ground cannot wait.
Logistics response for grounded aircraft and maintenance operations that need a part with top priority. We coordinate the complete operation: pickup at origin, international transport, documentation and customs handling, the urgent air option and delivery to the airport, workshop or operating base.
Every AOG is handled as a dedicated operation
We assess the urgency the moment we get the details
We work with every airline
Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Uruguay and Paraguay
The part, the tooling and the technician
An AOG is rarely solved with a single shipment. We coordinate the part, the technical documentation and, when needed, the technician who installs it — in one operation, with a single point of contact.
Aeronautical parts and components
The core of the service: moving the part that has the aircraft grounded, with the priority and traceability the operation demands.
- Aeronautical parts and components
- Electrical and electronic components
- Special tooling
- Maintenance equipment
- Technical documentation
On-board courier (OBC)
For small, critical parts that cannot wait for hold space: they travel escorted by a responsible person on the next available flight.
- Small, high-value parts
- Departure on the next available flight
- Hand delivery at the workshop or base
- Continuous traceability of the shipment
Technicians and tooling on site
When the part alone is not enough, we coordinate the technical team travelling together with their tools and spares.
- Technicians travelling with tooling or spare parts
- Transport of maintenance equipment
- Coordination with the maintenance window
- Ground transport to the operating base
AOG charter and dedicated flight
When the scheduled itinerary will not make it in time, or the destination has too few frequencies, we assess a dedicated aircraft.
- Aircraft grounded for want of a single part
- Destinations with few scheduled frequencies
- Operations that need a direct flight
- Delivery to regional airports near the base
- Technicians and components moved together
Operations we support
The service is built for any aeronautical operation where the cost of downtime is higher than the cost of urgent transport.
Airlines and operators
Commercial or business aircraft stuck away from base, with crew and passengers waiting.
Workshops and MRO
Scheduled or unscheduled maintenance that depends on an imported part to close the work order.
General and special-mission aviation
General aviation operators, flight schools and aerial work fleets that need to get back in the air fast.
Aircraft for dedicated flights
When the scheduled itinerary will not make it in time, we arrange a dedicated flight. The aircraft is assigned based on the weight, dimensions, route and deadline of the operation.

Manufacturer reference data. The aircraft assigned, its actual capacity and the final range depend on the route, the airports involved, the characteristics of the cargo, the documentation and the applicable permits.

How we handle an AOG
SIF Group integrates every stage of the operation and stays the single point of contact from the first alert to the delivery of the part.
We receive the AOG alert
Part number, description of the part, origin, destination and deadline. The assessment starts immediately.
We analyse routes, timings and alternatives
We compare scheduled frequencies, connections, on-board courier and dedicated flights to find the fastest option.
We verify the required documentation
We review the technical documentation, permits and customs requirements before the part moves.
We coordinate pickup, customs and transport
Collection at the supplier or warehouse, documentation, clearance and ground transport at both ends.
We confirm the final option
Priority scheduled flight, on-board courier or dedicated aircraft — whichever actually meets the deadline.
We deliver to the workshop or base
Continuous tracking until delivery at the airport, workshop or operating base where the aircraft is waiting.
