When Aircraft Can’t Fly: How Ground Transport Works

Aircraft are built to fly, but sometimes they need to be moved on the ground. This happens when small aircraft or helicopters are undergoing maintenance, waiting for repairs, or being delivered after a purchase. In such cases, professional ground transport is the safest and most cost-effective solution.

Why Aircraft May Need Ground Transport

• Mechanical Issues: A plane may be grounded until repaired.
• Purchases & Deliveries: Aircraft bought from abroad often require road delivery.
• Training & Exhibitions: Aviation schools and events sometimes need aircraft moved to different locations.
