Integrity is Our Priority
Integrity may seem like a fading quality in this day and age; but at Airtug, integrity forms the heart of who we are, what we do, and how we operate. Since 1974, Airtug has manufactured high-quality aircraft tugs; and since then, our company has expanded thanks to dedicated customers who place complete trust in our products and services.
Our mission and philosophy focuses on four main operating principles that have proven their worth: 1) consistently offer uncompromising integrity 2) provide high-quality products 3) ensure efficiency of service and 4) relentlessly commit to unrivaled customer care.
Our company’s passion for manufacturing top-quality aircraft tugs has, over the course of the last 44 years, allowed Airtug to surge ahead as a globally-recognized leader in the aircraft tug industry. As we continue to expand, we remind ourselves of the importance of balancing our values, profit margin, and long-term goals in order to remain a highly-trusted corporate citizen. Additionally, remaining a good neighbor with the communities we serve locally, nationally, and globally is a huge component of our company’s integrity-based beliefs.
It is Airtug’s goal to keep each and every customer, a customer for life! That is accomplished by providing the absolute best product at fair and competitive prices. Each Airtug team-member treats every customer like a friend, where personalized attention is an inherent part of our company’s belief system.
We Give Our Customers What They Want
Our Georgia customers can be assured of a few more things: 1) unmatched ‘quality control’ 2) industry-leading parts and warranties and 3) 30-day money-back guarantees. Giving our customers what they want is vital – product quality, product guarantees and product warranties create the confidence and trust that makes a difference; and that difference is Airtug.
Airtug offers an array of walk-behind, high-performance tugs that cater to FBO’s and commercial and private planes weighing up to 16,000 pounds. We, also, inventory a complete line of compatible accessories and equipment, all designed to optimize the ease, safety and efficiency of aircraft movement.
Our NFE-4 Aircraft Tug
This quiet, easy-to-operate tug comes with two batteries plus an on-board Smart Battery charger. The engine is a 24-volt electric motor which perfectly accommodates CIRRUS Aircraft. The NFE-4 will move most nose-fairing aircraft and other castering or non-castering nose-wheel aircraft up to 4,000 lbs.
Single-person movement of aircraft is incredibly simplistic due to the ease of the lifting of the nose-wheel: just manually attach the small tow-bar to the aircraft and winch the tow-bar/nose-wheel onto the raised platform – let the tug do the rest!
The control of the NFE-4 tug is based on its unique ‘thumb-throttle’ system that utilizes an electric transaxle w/differential; and the ‘return-to-brake’ feature prevents any unintentional movement of the craft upon release of the thumb throttle.

Tug Compatibility
The fact that some aircraft tugs are not completely compatible with certain models of aircraft means you’ll want to give Airtug a call before you finalize any order. One of our team-members will go over a few details concerning your aircraft to make sure your tug choice is the right choice.
Customer Satisfaction and Giving Back
Our NFE-4 aircraft tug is very popular; but if you order that tug or any other tug design and have a change of heart, you are entitled to a refund! Airtug maintains its status as a leading, global manufacturer of tugs that accommodate single, multi and turbine-class aircraft because we give our customers exactly what they want.
Feel good, also, about where some of your purchasing money goes – a portion of every single sale at Airtug is donated to Veterans Airlift Command to help support its cause. This dedicated organization flies wounded veterans and their families to necessary appointments as well as special events.
