History

The company's foundation lies in an earlier business, Space Age Aviation, which grew the regional aircraft aftermarket after the deregulation of the aviation industry in 1978 and was acquired in 1999 by Pratt & Whitney Canada, contributing to the creation of Pratt & Whitney Component Solutions. The name Block Island Aero comes from Block Island, Rhode Island, which the founding family has helped to protect.
