AOG Engineer Support
When the Aircraft Can't Wait.
When an aircraft is grounded, EDAERO's platform is built to start searching its global network of freelance, licensed aircraft engineers right away — surfacing available professionals, with documentation on file, positioned to reach the aircraft.
Unplanned. Time-critical.
Nothing about it can wait.
An Aircraft-on-Ground situation is by definition unplanned, and every hour without the right technical manpower carries real operational and commercial cost. Yet most operators still fall back on a short list of personal contacts, hoping someone is licensed, available, and close enough.
EDAERO exists to close that gap — a single point to describe the situation and immediately begin searching a global network of freelance, licensed engineers rather than working the phone one contact at a time.
Search by location,
aircraft type, and authorization.
An AOG request is matched against EDAERO's network on the factors that actually determine whether an engineer can help:
-
✓
Location-Based SourcingSearch prioritizes engineers positioned to reach the aircraft's location within the operationally relevant window.
-
✓
Aircraft Type MatchMatching accounts for the specific aircraft type and, where relevant, the engineer's license category and any type-specific authorization on file.
-
✓
Licensing Documentation on FileLicense/category and identity documentation are already on file for network engineers, reducing time lost to manual review during a live AOG event.
-
✓
Travel & Documentation ReadinessPassport validity, visa awareness, and short-notice travel readiness are visible on an engineer's profile before the operator confirms.
Real-time search.
No absolute promises.
EDAERO's network spans multiple regions, which may improve the likelihood of finding a suitably positioned, licensed engineer — but availability cannot be guaranteed for every location, aircraft type, or moment. What EDAERO can commit to is starting the search immediately and surfacing every genuine match the network has.
Cross-border AOG
brings its own logistics.
An AOG event away from an operator's home base adds customs, visa, and cross-border documentation questions on top of the technical problem. EDAERO's global network and operations desk are built with this in mind — engineer profiles carry passport validity and travel-readiness information, and the operations desk can help coordinate the logistics around getting the right engineer to the aircraft.
Support doesn't stop
at the match.
Once an engineer is matched, EDAERO's operations desk can support the logistics around the assignment — repositioning coordination, documentation, and status visibility through Mission Control — while responsibility for the technical work and its regulatory sufficiency stays with the operator and the engineer performing it.
