Airstead Aviation Ltd

Airstead Aviation Ltd is an aviation parts supplier based in Godalming, Surrey, in the United Kingdom. It describes itself as a new force in aviation parts supply, combining technical knowledge with a fresh, agile approach to sourcing and logistics. The company is registered in England and Wales.

The company sells certified parts and components, with full traceability. Its exchange programmes give immediate access to serviceable or overhauled components, from simple like for like exchanges to managed programmes across several part types. Exchanges help reduce aircraft downtime.

Repairs are carried out through partner MRO facilities. Airstead says it works only with independently audited MRO facilities. Every partner holds at least FAA and EASA approvals, and many also hold CAA, CAAC, TCCA and other approvals.

Its consignment services analyse and market surplus or slow moving inventory so that it reaches the right buyers at the right time. The company says its team has years of aviation supply chain experience and can assess market demand for each item.

A dedicated AOG response team is available around the clock through a published hotline and email address. The company also offers fast sourcing for hard to find items, with rapid response logistics.

The company names precision, speed and integrity as its three core principles. It aims to build long term partnerships based on reliability and service. It publishes terms and conditions of purchase, sale and exchange, and it has pages on sustainability and careers.
