Higher Standards Aerospace

Higher Standards Aerospace is a support facility that repairs and overhauls aircraft fuel components. It was established in 2017, when its owner acquired, relocated and expanded the business. The company describes itself as a dynamic and innovative player in the aviation industry. Its focus on quality workmanship ensures safe and reliable operation of components returned to service.

The company works on fuel components for airframes, engines and auxiliary power units. For airframes, it handles boost pumps, valves and controllers for Boeing 737, 747, 757, 767 and 777 aircraft, and for Airbus A300, A320 and A330 aircraft.
