Company Description

Customers of components and services in the aviation sector have been suffering for decades due to an antiquated and poorly reactive supply chain. Due to this, the industry is continuing to face high costs and limited aircraft availability. AirParts Aero streamlines the aircraft parts ordering and critical AOG processes with a modern Amazon-like marketplace that is regulated and compliant for the aviation industry. AirParts Aero will transform the simplicity, speed, and trust in the selling and buying experiences across the entire aviation value chain. Both sellers and procurers will benefit from improved safety and cost efficiency, reduced risk, and increased aircraft availability.
