Landing Gear Transport AOG Urgent by Cargo Aircraft

Landing Gear Transport AOG by Dedicated Cargo Aircraft

A landing gear failure or mandatory inspection that grounds an aircraft creates an AOG situation demanding the fastest possible component delivery. Landing gear assemblies are among the largest and heaviest components requiring urgent transport — 300 to 1,000 kg for a complete main gear assembly — and their specialized dimensions make them unsuitable for standard courier or passenger-flight belly cargo. Private Jets Connect provides dedicated cargo aircraft for AOG landing gear delivery within 4 to 12 hours, getting grounded aircraft back in service as quickly as possible.

Our AOG landing gear air freight connects MRO facilities and component pools worldwide with any airport where an aircraft is grounded. The combination of a dedicated cargo charter, aviation-experienced loadmasters, and 24/7 operations ensures the fastest possible component-to-aircraft turnaround.

Specialized Handling for Landing Gear Components

Landing gear assemblies are precision-engineered, safety-critical components that require careful handling throughout transport. Each assembly — whether a Boeing 777 main gear bogie, an Airbus A320 nose gear, or an A380 six-wheel truck — is shipped in its OEM-approved transport fixture that supports the gear at designated mounting points and prevents structural stress.

Our loading team follows aviation component handling procedures: hydraulic ports are verified blanked and sealed, exposed machined surfaces are protected with VCI (Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor) wrapping, brake assemblies are secured against inadvertent release, and all safety pins are installed and flagged. The gear is secured to the cargo aircraft floor using certified tie-down equipment with load calculations verified by our loadmaster. Environmental conditions in the cargo hold are maintained to prevent condensation on precision surfaces.

Global Landing Gear Logistics Network

The worldwide MRO network for landing gear overhaul is concentrated in specialized facilities: Safran Landing Systems (Molsheim, France), Collins Aerospace (multiple US locations), Liebherr (Germany), Singapore Technologies, and airline-owned shops. Our cargo aircraft provide rapid connections between these overhaul centers and the airports where aircraft are grounded.

We work closely with airline technical dispatch teams and component pool managers to identify the nearest available serviceable gear and coordinate the complete logistics chain — from removal of the serviceable spare from storage, through transport, to delivery at the aircraft’s ramp position. For airlines on our AOG framework contract, we maintain pre-approved routing and customs documentation for the most common origin-destination pairs.
