Air Spares Unlimited

Air Spares Unlimited, or ASU, is a commercial aerospace aftermarket company in Chicago, Illinois. It focuses only on landing gear, wheels and brakes, which the company calls Chapter 32. The website says that is all it does, unlike nose-to-tail providers.

ASU offers turn-key programs to source, sell, lease, exchange, manage repairs and warehouse consignment materials. It stocks several aircraft types in as-removed, serviceable and overhauled condition. For assets it does not hold, it works with network partners around the world.

Exchange options include flat rate and exchange-plus-cost, with back-to-birth review and remediation on the exchange unit. Leases run short or long term on narrow-body and wide-body aircraft, and lease-to-own options are available.

For repair management, ASU works with an MRO partner, buys replacement parts, handles repair communications and supports the records. For consignment, it stores, sells and processes landing gear records for assets owned by others.

ASU works with Proven Air Technologies to put landing gear documentation into a consistent format. The company says this reduces errors and evaluation time. The contact page lists separate sales contacts for Airbus, Boeing and regional aircraft landing gear. The company says it is an FAA AC 00-56 accredited company and a member of the Aviation Suppliers Association, and that it holds an ASA-100 quality certification.
