Avionics 2000 Pty Ltd is an avionics maintenance, repair and installation company based at Essendon Airport in Australia. The business was set up in 1988 and has grown into one of the largest avionics maintenance organisations in Australia.

The company handles avionics upgrades and installations for fixed wing and rotary wing aircraft. Its work includes cockpit display retrofits and full avionics support.
