Broadwing Aviation

Broadwing Aviation is an aftermarket aircraft parts and materials supplier based in Fort Worth, Texas. The company was formed in 2002 and says it is now celebrating 20 years in the aviation parts industry. It supports commercial airlines, government and defense customers through a partner network.

Its partner network spans the globe, and the company says it locates and delivers the parts customers need quickly. Its AOG teams stand by 24 hours a day, and it typically responds to RFQs and quotes in less than two hours.

Services include material and parts procurement, repair management, consignment for operators with surplus or obsolete inventory, and stock replenishment. Broadwing also runs a just in time program that forecasts when customers will need the next part, so it can have the part ready.

For repair management, the company negotiates repair costs based on volume using its network of repair vendors. It then manages the work from start to finish and provides detailed repair status reports, with daily to weekly updates depending on the engineering orders.

Broadwing says it can reduce lead time by an average of 85 to 90 percent and cut costs compared with OEM list prices. Its case examples describe cutting a 120 day lead time to one day, and saving more than US$100,000 on a part that was no longer in production.

The company serves government, military and defense customers as well as commercial airlines. It carries product liability insurance up to US$100 million and values long term relationships, integrity and speed that goes beyond responsiveness.
