Airtug – We Offer Integrity and Nothing Less
At Airtug, we know full well that consumers – regardless of what they purchase – look for integrity within a company. Integrity not only assures a quality product but it tells consumers that honesty and transparency are cornerstones of a business’s operations and promises – this is what you find at Airtug! We manufacture and supply a variety of indispensable ground-support equipment, and have done so since 1974.
Aircraft tugs are one of our specialties. They, effortlessly, maneuver/position/park aircraft, of all sizes and types. If you are an aviation enthusiast, you will love the ability to, now, position your aircraft into smaller spaces in hangers, oversized garages, and driveways. As a side-note, you may find it interesting that some gated, neighborhood communities are ‘fly-in’ communities where parked planes and private hangars are as common as parked cars and garages, elsewhere. Airtug’s reputation for manufacturing movement-solutions equipment spans 45 years. If aviation is your passion, know that supplying aircraft tugs to make lives easier, is ours!
At Airtug, we make sure every customer is 100% satisfied, 100% of the time. One of our primary objectives is to generate confidence within every patron and keep each customer as a customer for life! Airtug has positioned itself as a trusted and respected corporate citizen and good neighbor for the communities it serves – across town, across states, and across the globe. We carefully balance our values, our profit margin, and our long-term goals to maintain the respect of our patrons and the admiration of our competition.
We Give Our Patrons What They Want
The quote, Give the people what they want, and they will come, dates as far back as 1941 from a then-famous comedian, George Jessel. How insightful and true those words are as they apply to a business’s relationship with its patrons! At Airtug, we embrace those words of wisdom and give our patrons what they want with every product we provide. Our stringent quality-control measures, our industry-leading parts & warranties, and our 30-day money-back guarantees mean our customers trust our word, what we offer, and how we operate.
Our Idaho customers love our aircraft tugs’ walk-behind feature that enhances operational ease and optimizes safety. Our tugs are rated for aircraft weighing up to 16,000 pounds, and they serve FBO’s, and commercial and private aircraft.
You Will Love Our NFE-4 Aircraft Tug
If you haven’t seen our NFE-4 aircraft tug on our website, get ready to fall in love with one robust little gem! The NFE-4 aircraft tug is compact; it packs a punch, and it is perfectly designed for Cirrus Aircraft as well as for most nose-fairing aircraft and other castering or non-castering nose-wheel aircraft up to 4,000 pounds. The engine of the NFE-4 utilizes a quiet 24-volt electric motor, and the tug comes with two batteries and an on-board Smart Battery charger.
The NFE-4 Aircraft Tug offers simplistic, single-user operation thanks to the ease of the lifting of the nose-wheel. Just attach the small tow-bar to the aircraft and winch the tow-bar/nose-wheel onto the raised platform, and the NFE-4 is ready to, seamlessly, guide your aircraft wherever you want it to go! This tug’s control is based on its unique ‘thumb-throttle’ system that utilizes an electric transaxle w/differential. The ‘return-to-brake’ feature prevents any unintentional movement of the craft upon release of the thumb throttle.

Not all aircraft tugs universally fit all models of aircraft. Because of this, we encourage you to call our office before you finalize any tug purchase. It is, then, that one of our team members can go over a short compatibility checklist to make sure your craft and your selected tug are fully compatible.
If you feel the need to return your aircraft tug, you will receive a prompt refund! As a leading manufacturer and supplier of powered tugs for single, multi, and turbine-class aircraft, Airtug’s goal is to provide 100% customer satisfaction!
Giving Back Is Important, Too
At Airtug, we are proud to partner with the Veterans Airlift Command. We donate a portion of our proceeds towards this all-American organization which offers free flights for wounded veterans and their families to reach necessary appointments, as well as special events.
