Aircraft on Ground (AOG) Recovery.
When an aircraft is waiting on the ground, every minute has a cost.
HighGrade Charters arranges time-critical cargo movements through vetted third-party operators. We advise on the aviation plan and coordinate the details around it; aircraft are owned and operated by those providers.

The mission
Get the right part moving before the delay compounds.
AOG movements are not ordinary freight. They can involve aircraft engines, helicopter parts, aerospace components, and quick-turn ground support that have to reach the maintenance team on a precise clock.
HighGrade Charters acts as the brokerage and aviation advisor around the mission: we gather the dimensions, timing, handling, and destination details, then arrange suitable capacity through vetted third-party operators.
Why a charter
The right solution when the network cannot meet the consequence.
A charter is not automatically the answer. It becomes worth considering when timing, fit, access, or the cost of failure outweighs the premium for dedicated capacity.
02
Fit before price
Aircraft and routing options are evaluated against the part, payload, access, and delivery window.
03
A clear chain of care
One advisor keeps operators, ground teams, and the receiving contact aligned as plans change.
The HighGrade approach
A calm line through a high-pressure movement.
We shape the brief, source suitable options, and stay close to the logistics around the flight. The operator remains responsible for operating the aircraft.
