Storm Aviation, the UK-based MRO and part of FL Technics Group, has become the central coordination hub for Aircraft on Ground (AOG) recovery across the group. The move expands the role of its GO Team, giving operators a single point of contact for rapid technical recovery.
Backed by FL Technics Group’s network of more than 100 line maintenance stations, seven base maintenance hangars across Lithuania, the United Kingdom, the Czech Republic, Indonesia and the Dominican Republic, and spare parts hubs in Dubai, Singapore and Vilnius, the expanded model provides wider geographical coverage, faster response times and simplified coordination across the Americas, Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East and beyond.
With recovery teams positioned across multiple regions, engineers and technical resources can be deployed closer to grounded aircraft while coordination remains centralised through the GO Team. Backed by 30 years of AOG recovery experience, Storm Aviation combines its rapid-response expertise with FL Technics Group’s global network to deliver streamlined technical support.
“Storm Aviation’s GO Team acts as the lead coordinator for AOG recovery across the group,” said Saulius Bajarunas, COO of FL Technics Group. “Our role is to put the best capability of the `group, our engineers, tooling, approvals and global footprint, behind every recovery the GO Team coordinates. For airlines, ACMI providers, lessors, and other aircraft operators, that means broader geographical coverage, faster access to technical resources, and simpler coordination when time is critical.”
Under the new model, a single request initiates the recovery process, with the GO Team assessing the situation, mobilising engineers, tooling, spare parts and maintenance approvals, and managing the aircraft’s return to service. This eliminates the need for operators to coordinate multiple providers across regions.
“Coordinating AOG recovery for the entire FL Technics Group is the next step in our story,” stated Thomas Buckley, CEO of Storm Aviation. “Operators no longer have to chase multiple contacts across time zones. They have a single point of contact through our GO Team, and behind that team stands the entire capability of the FL Technics Group. Wherever your airline needs technical recovery assistance, we can mobilise faster and with greater certainty.”
