Storm Aviation, a UK-based maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) provider and part of the FL Technics Group, has been appointed as the central coordination hub for Aircraft on Ground (AOG) recovery across the group.
This strategic move enhances the capabilities of its established GO Team, offering operators a streamlined, single point of contact for swift technical recovery.
Leveraging the extensive global network of FL Technics Group, which includes over 100 line maintenance stations and seven base maintenance hangars in locations such as Lithuania, the UK, and Indonesia, Storm Aviation is set to provide broader geographical coverage. This expansion ensures faster response times and simplified coordination, crucial for addressing AOG incidents that require rapid aircraft recovery.
With 30 years of experience in time-critical aircraft recoveries, Storm Aviation's new role significantly broadens the support available to operators. The integration of Storm Aviation’s expertise with FL Technics Group’s resources offers enhanced geographical reach, streamlined coordination, and access to additional technical resources. Saulius Bajarunas, COO of FL Technics Group, stated, “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.”
The new model allows a single request to Storm Aviation’s GO Team to initiate the entire recovery process, from assessing the situation to mobilising resources and managing logistics. Thomas Buckley, CEO of Storm Aviation, emphasised, “Operators no longer have to chase multiple contacts across time zones. They have a single point of contact through our GO Team.”
This development marks a significant step in Storm Aviation's journey, promising faster mobilisation and greater certainty for airlines and other aircraft operators needing technical recovery assistance
