From 26 July to 11 August, 10,500 athletes and 15 million visitors will descend on Paris. The world’s greatest athletic spectacle will also be France’s biggest ever event.
That involves a lot of aviation.

So, what if one of your aircraft is grounded in France and needs repair? The last thing commercial airlines and corporate jet operators need are expensive and damaging aircraft on ground (AOG) situations.

Sterling is a reliable AOG partner that helps operators get their aircraft back in service quickly and safely. During the event, you can rely on us to deliver essential parts and components with unparalleled speed.
