What do OOG and AOG mean when it comes to air cargo shipping?
OOG stands for Out of Gauge. It refers to cargo that is too large or too heavy to fit in a standard 20- or 40-foot cargo container. OOG cargo may also have irregular shapes or dimensions that make it difficult to transport.
AOG stands for Aircraft on Ground. It refers to an aircraft that is unable to fly due to a mechanical problem. AOG cargo is any part or equipment that is needed to repair an aircraft that is on the ground.
OOG and AOG cargo are both considered to be urgent shipments, and they require special handling and transportation arrangements. OOG cargo may need to be palletized or crated to fit in the aircraft, and it may also need to be accompanied by a special loading permit. AOG cargo may need to be transported on a charter flight or a priority basis.
The cost of shipping OOG and AOG cargo is typically higher than the cost of shipping standard cargo. This is because of the specialized handling and transportation requirements. However, the cost of shipping OOG and AOG cargo is often outweighed by the cost of lost production or revenue if the aircraft is unable to fly.

Here are some examples of OOG cargo:
- Large machinery parts
- Heavy equipment
- Oversized vehicles
- Construction materials
- Industrial components
Here are some examples of AOG cargo:
- Engine parts
- Landing gear components
- Avionics equipment
- Hydraulic systems
- Electrical components
If you need to ship OOG or AOG cargo, it is important to work with a reputable global freight forwarder, like Logistics Plus, who has experience in handling these types of shipments. The freight forwarder will be able to help you get the cargo to its destination safely and on time.

The Logistics Plus (LP) Poland project cargo team continues to support and manage projects across Poland and nearby countries. Here are three of the most recent projects handled by LP Poland in August 2023.
1) Aircraft Stabilizer
The Logistics Plus Poland team successfully delivered a sensitive aircraft stabilizer to a prominent aerospace client. The unique dimensions and curves of the stabilizer made for a challenge, as the cargo could only be transported at a maximum speed of 20 km/hr. The stabilizer was loaded onto transport saddles utilizing a pneumatic semi-trailer. Due to the size and low speed of transportation, the Poland Road Authority supported the project by providing additional convoy trucks.
2) Oversized Devices
Logistics Plus Poland completed a multi-step project by delivering a set of oversized devices to Scandinavia and crane components to the South of Poland. After both deliveries, the client sent the cargo for final assembly before reaching the job site.
3) Prefabrication Parts
The Logistics Plus Poland team supported the local offshore industry by delivering tanks and prefabrication parts to one of the oldest shipyards in Gdańsk. Within a few weeks, the LP Poland team will transport the final products to Germany.
