Aircraft Relocation & Recovery
We move aircraft between locations for operational needs, maintenance, or recovery from incidents like AOG (aircraft on ground) situations.
Experts in Handling Complex Scenarios in Recovering Aircraft.
This service focuses on moving aircraft between locations for operational needs, maintenance, or recovery from incidents like AOG (aircraft on ground) situations, including repositioning for leasing returns or fleet balancing.
Expanding beyond standard ferries, SG Ferry handles complex scenarios like recovering aircraft from remote or conflict zones, incorporating security assessments and specialized recovery teams. Route planning accounts for geopolitical risks, fuel embargoes, and aircraft condition (e.g., partial disassembly for transport).
Benefits include rapid response times – often within 24 hours for urgent relocations – and cost optimization via efficient routing, which can cut fuel expenses by 15-20%. For recovery, it involves damage assessments, temporary repairs, and coordination with insurers, ensuring assets are back in service quickly while complying with international transport regulations like ICAO Annex 8.
Comprehensive Project Support Services
Working in tandem with industry partners, SG Ferry’s project managers deliver a holistic suite of logistical and administrative support. These elements ensure regulatory hurdles are cleared swiftly, operational flows are uninterrupted, and global relocations are executed flawlessly.
Flight Crew
(EASA/FAA/ICAO)
We deploys highly qualified pilots and cabin crew certified under EASA, FAA, or ICAO standards, matched to the aircraft type and route complexity. This includes multi-timezone acclimation training to combat fatigue and access to standby reserves for contingencies.
License Validations
(2-REG, Cayman, Aruba, IOM)
Validations convert or endorse foreign pilot licenses for specific registries (e.g., Bermuda’s 2-REG, Cayman Islands, Aruba, or Isle of Man), streamlining international operations. The service involves rapid paperwork processing, often within 48 hours, and coordination with authorities to prevent flight delays.
Crew Visas
Expedited visa procurement for international crew, including work permits and transit approvals, tailored to destination countries’ immigration rules. SG Aviation Services leverages pre-established diplomatic channels and digital submission tools to achieve approvals in as little as 24-72 hours, even for high-risk routes.
Flight Planning
Detailed route planning using advanced software to factor in weather, fuel stops, NOTAMs, and ETOPS requirements for extended-range operations. Expansions include carbon footprint analysis for eco-conscious clients and contingency simulations for diversions.
Permits
Fuelling
Coordination of into-plane fueling services at departure and en-route stops, emphasizing sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) options where available to meet ESG goals. This includes quantity verifications, quality checks, and pricing negotiations to avoid uplift surcharges. In extended ferries, precise planning prevents excess weight penalties, enhancing efficiency.
Ground Handling
Full-spectrum support at airports, from ramp access and baggage loading to de-icing and customs clearance. SG Ferry prioritizes VIP lounges for crew rest and partners with global handlers for consistency, even at remote fields. This service cuts ground times by up to 50%, crucial for multi-leg deliveries, safeguarding high-value assets against theft or damage during vulnerable transition phases.
Flight Tracking
Real-time GPS monitoring via satellite-based systems with client dashboards for live position, ETA, and anomaly alerts. SG Ferry integrates this with automated reporting for insurers and lessors, enabling proactive interventions like weather reroutes. In high-stakes scenarios, such as remote oceanic crossings, this visibility enhances safety and provides forensic data for post-flight reviews, building trust in delivery timelines.
