Integrity Is Everything
Since 1974, Airtug has manufactured highly-dependable, high-quality aircraft tugs that have served the aviation-related needs for aviation buffs and experts, alike. During those 44 years, we have emerged into global markets that embrace our quality products. We have evolved, tremendously, thanks to our ever-expanding customer base. There is one thing, however, that has not changed and remains set in stone as it has, from the very beginning: our integrity.
At Airtug, we adhere to four core principles that have driven our mission and philosophy: 1) level of integrity 2) quality of product 3) efficiency of service and 4) commitment to customer care. We, passionately, strive to balance our values, profit margin, and long-term goals in order to operate as a highly-responsible corporate citizen. Being a good neighbor with the communities we serve is vital; and we never forget that it is our local, national, and global customer-base that has allowed us to become a recognized world leader in aircraft-tug manufacturing.
Airtug works, overtime, to keep each and every customer as a life-long partner by providing the absolute best products at fair and competitive prices. Every customer receives the individualized attention they expect and deserve; and we thank each and every one of you!
Quality and Selection Is Paramount
Our Ohio customers can always expect: 1) unmatched ‘quality control’ 2) industry-leading parts and warranties and 3) 30-day money-back guarantees. It’s our quality, guarantees, and warranties that create the level of confidence and trust in our customers that keeps them coming back.
Airtug offers a variety of walk-behind, high-performance tugs that cater to FBO’s and commercial and private planes weighing up to 16,000 pounds. Aside from our tugs that serve single, multi, and turbine-class aircraft, we offer a line of compatible accessories and equipment, all intended to create ease, safety and efficiency as part of your aircraft ground support.
Our NFE-4 Aircraft Tug
The NFE-4 is a wonderfully-quiet, powerful aircraft tug that turns the word ‘work’ into ‘child’s play’. This tug comes with two batteries and an on-board Smart Battery charger; and the engine is a 24-volt electric motor which beautifully configures to CIRRUS Aircraft. It 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 impressively easy, via the NFE-4 tug, due to the ease of the lifting of the nose-wheel. Simply attach the small tow-bar to the aircraft and winch the tow-bar/nose-wheel onto the raised platform, and allow the tug to do the rest– yes, its’ that easy!
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.

Ensuring Aircraft Compatibility
It can’t be argued that not all tugs, regardless of manufacturer, are compatible with all models of aircraft. To ensure you never have to deal with the possibility of returning a tug you have ordered, simply give Airtug a call before you purchase our NFE-4 tug or any other design. One of our team-members will discuss a few details to make sure the tug you choose is perfectly suited for your particular craft.
Customer Satisfaction & Giving Back
When it comes to ease and convenience, our NFE-4 aircraft tug is an excellent choice. If, however, you wish to return it for any reason, Airtug will accommodate your request with a full refund! Again, our customers are the reason Airtug excels as a world leader in the manufacturing of aircraft tugs; and we will go to whatever lengths, necessary, to make sure our Ohio customers are 100% satisfied.
Also, our Ohio customers can feel positive about where some of their money goes – a portion of every single Airtug sale is donated to Veterans Airlift Command. This organization flies wounded veterans and their families to necessary appointments as well as special events.
