Overview
A global cargo airline operating across multiple continents faced significant challenges in handling Aircraft on Ground (AOG) situations. With each grounded aircraft costing thousands of dollars per hour in delays, lack of real-time visibility into AOG events created major financial and operational risks. Data related to aircraft parts, maintenance schedules, and inventory was scattered across multiple systems, making it difficult for decision-makers to respond quickly.

The Challenges
1
Scattered Data Sources
AOG-related information resided in multiple systems (AMOS, Inventory, Maintenance Logs).
2
Delayed Decision-Making
Manual reporting caused delays in resolving AOG events.
3
High Operational Cost
Each grounded aircraft led to significant revenue loss.
4
Lack of Predictive Insights
No forecasting of part availability or upcoming risks.
5
Limited Visibility for Leadership
Executives lacked real-time dashboards to act proactively.
