Aviatron

Aviatron is an aircraft component overhaul and repair station. It supports regional jets and commercial aircraft. The company is based in Essex Junction, Vermont, in the United States. Its website also lists an emergency service for aircraft on ground, with a call line that runs day and night.

The company began in Hudson, Quebec, Canada, in 1979. Its first FAA authorized facility in the United States opened in Burlington, Vermont, on 14 February 1991. Aviatron says it has grown into a respected name known for good workmanship and quick turn times.

Aviatron is an FAA and EASA approved repair station and says it has served the industry for over 25 years. In November 2024, it also became UK CAA certified. The site lists an FAA Part 145 repair station and an EASA 145 certification among its licenses.

The company works on many kinds of parts. These include air cycle machines, blowers, cooling fans and heat exchangers. It also handles electrical power items such as generators, starter-generators, APU generators, electric motors, inverters and transformer-rectifier units. Other areas are cabin lighting and electronics, fuel pumps and valves, hydraulic pumps, engine starting valves, anti-ice valves and engine air starters.

Aviatron covers parts for Airbus, Airbus Helicopter, ATR, Beechcraft, Boeing, Bombardier, De Havilland Canada and Embraer aircraft. It uses PMA and DER parts on air cycle machines for CRJ and Dash 8 aircraft. PMA means Parts Manufacturer Approval, which allows an alternate part to be made and sold. The company says this brings cost savings to operators. It also offers engineering and PMA development, and it launched a 737NG air cycle machine program in 2020.

Turnaround time is a stated focus. The site says the current time on most components is 8 to 10 days. Each technician must complete an OEM factory aircraft familiarization course on most components the company overhauls or repairs. Staff also get ongoing training. Aviatron says it held its rates steady for five years.

The website offers a list of capabilities by component and by aircraft type. Visitors can request a quote and download a PMA catalog. The news section covers trade shows and events such as MRO Americas, MRO Europe and the MARPA conference. A careers page and contact page are also listed.
