AOG Services Clause Samples
The AOG Services clause defines the obligations and procedures for providing support and services when an aircraft is grounded due to technical issues, known as Aircraft on Ground (AOG) situations. Typically, this clause outlines the rapid response requirements, such as expedited parts delivery or technical assistance, to minimize aircraft downtime. Its core practical function is to ensure that disruptions caused by unexpected technical failures are addressed swiftly, thereby reducing operational delays and financial losses for the aircraft operator.
AOG Services. Maintenance Provider agrees to provide all support reasonably required and available to return to service as promptly as practicable an Aircraft that is grounded at any location where repair or recovery is feasible (an "AOG Aircraft"). If a parts shortage at a Line Maintenance Location results in an AOG Aircraft, Maintenance Provider agrees to exert all commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, through whatever means available, the parts required to return the Aircraft to service. If Off-Line Maintenance Services would be required with respect to an AOG Aircraft, Maintenance Provider agrees to dispatch (or cause to be dispatched) a field service team to the relevant location as promptly as feasible. If under the circumstances Customer and Maintenance Provider jointly conclude that an AOG Aircraft could be rectified more promptly and/or efficiently through the retention of a third party vendor, Maintenance Provider shall use the services of the appropriate third party vendor to perform the relevant Off-Line Maintenance Services.
