AIRRATE

00:00 The clock is running
A grounded aircraft affects the entire network. Lost revenue, disrupted schedules and connecting delays increase with every hour the required part remains in transit.
What AOG Freight Means

The shipment exists to return an aircraft to service.

These jobs do not operate on normal quoting schedules. The request may arrive at midnight, on a holiday or while airline sales offices are closed.

airrate.com gives freight forwarders access to rates and routing options at the moment the call comes in.
