Airline Operations Group (AOG) is a leading purveyor and consolidator of hotel and transport services for airline crew and distressed passengers worldwide. It was established in 1995, and is currently headquartered in Bangkok Thailand. AOG provides participating airlines with a “win-win solution for the pragmatic, efficient, and cost-effective means of procuring hotel and transportation services worldwide”. It sees honest, effective and efficient relationships with its partner airlines, hotels and transportation providers as being of vital importance to its Mission. It achieve these objectives by promoting standards and policies that are acceptable to all partners. AOG has created an environment in which its team constantly strive to improve, thereby making AOG an attractive source of procurement for its partner airlines. AOG specializes in the procurement and management of: • Crew Accommodations • Distressed Passenger Accommodations • Emergency Response Services Accommodations – accidents, incidents, diversions, special flights. AOG has launched AOGtion, the first fully integrated mobile e-Auction platform that connects airlines with competitively priced hotels and transportation companies during flight disruptions when it is critical for airlines to secure hundreds of reasonably priced hotel rooms and buses for passengers. AOGtion establishes a “one-stop shop” and virtual marketplace for hotels to liquidate nightly vacant rooms on a real-time basis using dynamic pricing. Airlines can access the app from airports worldwide and procure rooms in one click instead of calling each hotel. Hotels operate with vacancy factors every night in a perpetual cycle of income loss that can be eliminated. Transport companies operate with excess buses that, if fully utilized, contributes to their financial success. AOGtion supports ‘smart’ and ‘non-smart’ phones: iPhone, BlackBerry, Android phones, iPads & all tablets. www.airlineoperationsgroup.com
