B&V Aircraft Parts and Supply, Inc.

B&V Aircraft Parts and Supply Inc., trading as B&V Airparts, is an aircraft parts supplier at 12120 Sherman Way, North Hollywood, California, close to Los Angeles Airport (LAX). Its website says it delivers the right parts in time with the required documentation, and that it takes pride in locating hard to find parts. The company says it started by selling an American Airlines consignment of Fokker parts and then built a large surplus inventory through further consignments.

Aircraft parts

• Surplus parts for Embraer, ATR, Fokker, Boeing and Airbus aircraft
• Quality parts, AOG services and purchase of inventories
• Ground support items listed on the site, such as Tronair towbars, oil service units and hydraulic jacks, and an A320 shipset of Recaro seats

Consignment

• Limits the number of consignments of similar aircraft types: once an agreement is made, no further agreement for similar parts is signed until the earlier one is fulfilled
• Consigned inventory is sold first-out, according to the company
• Consignors can track their inventory online around the clock

Component repair and vendor management

• A network the company says exceeds 800 repair vendors worldwide
• Services scalable from a single aircraft to whole fleets
• Management of component warranty claims and tracking of vendor performance with a score-card system
• Aims at shorter turnaround times, visibility and cost control for carriers that do not have enough repair volume to secure vendor terms themselves

• Food sourcing: branded packaged food for in-flight consumption
• Electromechanical training

Certifications and approvals
