WISTON, England, Aug. 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Approximately $6 billion is lost per year in the airline industry due to an AOG situation. Every minute an aircraft is idle on the ground awaiting repairs, it's haemorrhaging money for its owner or operator and causing a serious back-up of passengers across the world missing important meetings, family occasions and holidays. Aircraft have extensive and tightly regulated maintenance programmes, but when a plane such as a Boeing 747-8 comprises 6 million components (according to Lufthansa) there will inevitably be occasions when unscheduled technical faults occur. So, what are the most common technical faults which cause an AOG delay, and how long does it take to fix them?

Key Points: 
  • In this article, Artemis Aerospace looks at the most common technical faults which cause a plane to be taken out of service, and what can be done to get it back up in the sky as quickly as possible.
  • Aircraft have extensive and tightly regulated maintenance programmes, but when a plane such as a Boeing 747-8 comprises 6 million components (according to Lufthansa) there will inevitably be occasions when unscheduled technical faults occur.
  • So, what are the most common technical faults which cause an AOG delay, and how long does it take to fix them?
  • In the vast majority of these cases, potential faults are discovered before they become an issue, during normal maintenance.
