Aircraft-on-ground (AOG) situations can cost aviation companies thousands of dollars per hour. Finding parts or services quickly is crucial. However, traditional sourcing methods often involve endless calls and emails, leading to delays. Alpha Wingman changes that. Our platform makes sourcing parts and services faster, easier, and more affordable.
Speed Up AOG Recovery
Alpha Wingman connects you to over 1,100 trusted providers in 39 countries. In AOG situations, the platform pings providers within a 300-mile radius, including those you might not have known were there. For example, on July 17, 2023, a Gulfstream G-IV at Boca Raton Airport faced an AOG situation due to a failed water heater. The operator submitted a request on Alpha Wingman at 9:52 AM. By 12:47 PM—less than 3 hours later—they had a quote for $10,750 with next-day delivery. As a result, the jet was back in the air quickly, minimizing costly AOG downtime.
Compare Quotes Easily
With Alpha Wingman, you submit one request and get multiple quotes fast. This lets you compare options and choose the best fit. In the Gulfstream G-IV AOG case, the operator received several bids within hours. They picked the most cost-effective option without wasting time. Therefore, Alpha Wingman saves you both time and effort.
Save on Costs
Traditional sourcing often includes broker fees, which can add 10-20% to costs. Alpha Wingman eliminates these fees by connecting you directly to suppliers. For the Gulfstream G-IV operator, this meant saving thousands on their water heater purchase during the AOG event. Consequently, Alpha Wingman helps you keep more money in your pocket.
Why Alpha Wingman Works
Alpha Wingman streamlines the sourcing process. First, you submit a request. Then, the platform pings providers who can help. Finally, you get quotes to compare. This simple process cuts AOG downtime and reduces costs, making Alpha Wingman the smarter choice for aviation sourcing.
