When the part is in the catalog, anyone can quote it. The value of aircraft parts sourcing shows up on the harder requests: long-lead rotables, obsolete expendables, end-of-life OEM line items, and the surplus or new-surplus units that solve an AOG when factory lead-time would ground the aircraft for weeks. We source across all of these — through a vetted global supplier network, with full documentation on every shipment.
What We Source
Rotables
Actuators, valves, pumps, generators, IDGs, APUs and APU LRUs, avionics computers, displays, gear assemblies, wheels and brakes, accessory gearbox components — supplied in Overhauled (OH), Serviceable (SV), or As-Removed (AR) condition with the appropriate authorized release tag. Where the requirement is for an exchange rather than a purchase, we structure the exchange with clear repair-cost expectations and core-return terms.
Expendables
Hardware, fasteners, bearings, seals, gaskets, hoses, cables, brackets, electrical components, and consumable line items across the bill of materials. Supplied new from authorized distributors or as new-surplus with proper trace.
Hard-to-Find OEM and Aftermarket Parts
Obsolete OEM line items, end-of-life parts no longer in current production, alternates and approved substitutes under PMA (Parts Manufacturer Approval), and aftermarket components from qualified suppliers. We trace the part back to a legitimate source, verify the documentation, and surface alternates where the original number is simply not available within your operational window.
Sourced Through a Vetted Global Supplier Network
Our supplier network covers OEMs and authorized distributors, FAA / EASA Part 145 repair stations, vetted surplus dealers, and end-user inventory holders across multiple continents. Each supplier is qualified — accredited where applicable (ASA-100, AC 00-56B), audited, and monitored for performance — and assigned to scope. A complex rotable inquiry does not route to a hardware reseller, and a hardware inquiry does not chase a six-figure rotable broker. The right supplier sees the right RFQ, and the response is faster and cleaner because of it.
Documentation That Holds Up Under Audit
Every part we source ships with the documentation your quality manual demands:
- Authorized release certificate (FAA 8130-3, EASA Form 1, or equivalent) appropriate to the part’s condition.
- Manufacturer or distributor certificate of conformity for new parts.
- Last-overhaul or back-to-birth traceability for rotables, as available and as required.
- Teardown reports and removal documentation for surplus items.
- Material certifications and DPA / PMA letters where relevant.
If the paperwork is not right, we do not ship the part. It is that simple.
AOG Support — 24/7
An Aircraft on Ground event costs operators tens of thousands of dollars per hour in disruption and lost revenue. Our AOG desk works around the clock to locate, qualify, and dispatch the part — combining live inventory checks across our supplier network, structured alternate-part research, and same-day logistics through approved freight partners. A grounded aircraft does not wait, and neither do we.
Why Operators Choose Our Parts Sourcing
- Vetted supplier network — Quality is filtered upstream, not patched in after the fact.
- Alternates and equivalents — When the OEM number is unobtainable, we present approved alternates with the supporting documentation.
- Honest lead times — Quotes reflect realistic availability, not best-case optimism.
- Transparent pricing — Costs are itemized; freight, certification, and exchange terms are stated up front.
- 24/7 AOG response — Real humans on the phone, not an auto-responder.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you source parts that are no longer in OEM production?
In most cases, yes. Obsolete and end-of-life parts are routinely sourced from new-surplus, used-serviceable-material (USM), or PMA-approved alternates through our supplier network. We confirm authenticity and documentation before quoting.
Do you support both purchase and exchange transactions?
Yes. Outright purchase, exchange, and flat-rate-exchange terms are all available on appropriate rotable line items, with clearly stated repair-cost expectations and core-return windows.
What documentation comes with a sourced part?
The appropriate authorized release certificate for the part’s condition, plus trace documentation, repair-station tags where relevant, and certificates of conformity for new parts. Additional documentation (export paperwork, dangerous-goods documents, dual-use export licensing) is handled where required.
