AeroDirect

AeroDirect is a worldwide supplier and servicer of commercial aviation assets, based in Wheeling, Illinois. It sells, trades, leases and repairs engines, parts and components.

The company was founded in 1995. It says it has more than 30 years in commercial aviation and more than 1,000 customers, including major airlines and MROs. Its staff average over 20 years of experience, with training from airlines, OEMs and MROs. Less than 1 percent of its sales come back as returns each year.

The business has three main groups that work together across the life of an engine. The engine trading group handles engine purchases, sales, leasing and asset management. It backs this with technical records review, repair planning and lifecycle strategy. The engine and component maintenance group repairs engine families such as the CFM56 through its affiliate Precise Aviation, which the site says is FAA and EASA certified.

The components group sources aftermarket parts for Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 aircraft and engines. Stock covers engine parts, airframe parts, consumables and expendables, whole engines, APUs and landing gear. Engines and APUs are available for lease or sale. Customers can search the inventory online and request a quote.

AeroDirect serves aircraft operators, lessors, OEMs and MRO providers. Its sales team is based in North America. Reps and agents in more than 20 countries support customers in other regions. The company also has a page for sellers who want to offer parts, and a consignor portal.

The company lists ASA-100, AS9120 and ISO 9001:2015 as its quality certifications. Customers can ask about engine parts, airframe parts, consumables, engine leasing and trading, maintenance services or selling parts through one inquiry form.
