Prime Air

What Prime Air does

Prime Air (Prime Air LLC) is a B2B aerospace services company that supplies aircraft components and provides asset management solutions for commercial aviation operators worldwide. Founded in 1995 and acquired by HEICO Corporation in 2006, the company operates as the designated Asset Management Specialist within HEICO's Repair Group network, delivering strategic inventory, materials management, and aftermarket support for commercial aircraft and engine platforms. Its core product offering is Component Asset Management Services paired with Aircraft Components Supply, augmented by 24/7 AOG (Aircraft on Ground) emergency support, Materials Management for Lessors, and Airline Surplus Solutions for secondary-market parts monetization.

The company operates from a Skokie, Illinois headquarters and regional offices in Miami (Latin American coverage), Hemel Hempstead (European regional HQ), and London (AOG support), enabling global 24/7 emergency response routing. Its technology footprint is a web-based customer and component asset management platform used for parts and inventory tracking; there is no disclosed proprietary AI, ML, or predictive capability. The company maintains ASA-100, FAA 00-56B, ISO 9001:2015, and AS9120B certifications, satisfying the regulated quality standards required for aerospace parts distribution.

Prime Air makes money through two primary revenue streams: hardware sales of commercial aircraft components and engine platform parts, and professional services for asset management, surplus solutions, and materials management for lessors. Pricing is quote-based and negotiated per transaction, with no public pricing model. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting commercial airlines, aviation operators, and aircraft lessors through direct relationships and a website contact channel. Marketing relies on a corporate website, LinkedIn, and X (Twitter). Customer segments are vertical-only (commercial aviation), with no disclosed named logos or revenue concentration data.

• TransDigm Group: Large public aerospace components manufacturer and distributor with proprietary and aftermarket parts across virtually all commercial aircraft platforms. Operates broadly in the same component supply space as Prime Air but with proprietary IP and significantly greater scale.
• HEICO Repair Group (parent division): Parent HEICO Corporation's Repair Group division, of which Prime Air is the Asset Management Specialist. The broader Repair Group encompasses PMA parts manufacturing and MRO capabilities that overlap with Prime Air's component supply and asset management activities.
