An AOG (Aircraft on Ground) is a high-impact economic event: every hour of immobilization costs between €10,000 and €150,000 depending on aircraft type (widebody, business jet, cargo, helicopter). Response speed and repair quality are critical: a rushed repair costs more than a slightly longer but controlled delay.
Kronos Engineering maintains dedicated on-call service 24/7, 365 days a year. Our AOG line is answered by a structures engineer, not a call-center operator — technical qualification of the need starts immediately. Target mobilization: response within 2 hours, on-site deployment within 24 hours at most international airports.
Our AOG scope covers: manual flapper peening (zones inaccessible to automated shot peening), on-wing cold working (critical fastener holes), manual shot peening compliant with AMS 2432, recovery precision boring, and Major Repair with integrated technical file.
