Avocet Aviation

Avocet Aviation is an independent aircraft parts distributor based in Southend-on-Sea, Essex, in the United Kingdom. It also has a sales office in the USA. The company supports operators and maintenance facilities in more than 100 countries. It says it has more than 35 years of experience in the industry.

The company holds more than 40,000 line items in stock in the UK, with additional stock at its US facility. It sells factory new and overhauled parts for jet, turboprop and piston aircraft. Its exchange pool holds more than 2,000 line items, supplied with FAA 8130 dual release or EASA Form 1 documents.

Beechcraft support has been a major focus since the company was founded in 1985. Avocet holds overhauled components for exchange or sale, and it receives daily shipments of factory new consumable parts. It also ships parts for the King Air family.

In September 2025 Avocet signed an enhanced contract to become an authorised Textron Aviation parts reseller. The contract covers the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Iceland and Greenland. Through Textron Aviation, the company now supports Hawker and Cessna aircraft, including the Caravan. Support for the ATR42 and ATR72 has grown over time, with an exchange pool of ATR components that keeps growing. The company is also a stocking distributor for Ice Shield pneumatic de-icers from SMR Technologies.

Other partners include PPG Aerospace for aircraft transparencies, Raisbeck for King Air upgrades, Barry Controls for engine and APU mounts, and Lee Aerospace for FAA PMA approved windows and windshields. Aerospace Turbine Rotables is another authorised distributor partner.

Services include rotable and consumable part sales, component overhaul management using facilities in Europe and the USA, and a 24 hour, seven day AOG service. Routine orders can be dispatched on the same day through major couriers.

The company is an ISO 9001:2015 approved organisation. Every part is supplied with full traceability and with FAA 8130, EASA Form 1, CAA Form 1 or OEM certification.
