Elliot Ward Aviation

Elliot Ward Aviation (EWA) is a worldwide stockist and distributor of aircraft parts. It specialises in the supply and repair of commercial aircraft components. The company is based at EWA House in Crawley, near London Gatwick.

The company says its goal is to return aircraft to service in the shortest possible time. It uses dedicated service divisions to do this. Its work covers component sales, repair management, inventory management and quality.

The sales division handles advance planning orders, immediate needs and AOG requirements. Customers can buy, loan or exchange parts from an extensive inventory of rotable and LRU components. The website describes the sales team as focused on fast and reliable support.

EWA provides repair capability and MRO services through a network of EASA and FAR 145 approved third party repair facilities. Each unit is assessed against the customer's requirements. The website says this helps control turnaround times and final costs. Exchange and loan programs are also available.

The stock covers Airbus A318, A319, A320, A321, A330, A340, A350 and A380. It also covers Boeing 737NG, 747, 777 and 787. Each component is guaranteed fully traceable and supplied with EASA or FAR release certification.

EWA designs inventory management programs for each customer. Under-used inventory or surplus can be turned into revenue. Consignment programs can include full inventory management and warehousing, or sales and marketing support only. Customers get inventory tracking and reporting, with access to stock records.

EWA is accredited to ISO 9001:2015 by United Register of Systems. It runs a continuous self-improvement quality system. The company says it monitors suppliers and maintenance facilities for compliance with industry regulations, service and reliability. The website also lists UKAS and FAA circular 00-56B.
