What DASI does
DASI is a Miami-headquartered private aviation parts distribution platform founded in 1993 that operates the aviation aftermarket's largest spot marketplace, serving commercial airlines, MROs, OEMs, and parts distributors across 140 countries. The company aggregates over 2.5 million SKUs spanning factory new, new surplus, and USM (used serviceable material) condition through its own inventory and a Channel Partner network of 20+ blue-chip OEMs and distributors. DASI processes more than 7,000 RFQs daily from 3,500+ customers and ships over 95% of orders from its $1B+ Miami HQ stock the same day.
The core technology is a proprietary B2B e-commerce marketplace (store.dasi.com) featuring automated instant quoting with side-by-side comparison of matching inventory including alternates and interchangeable parts, multi-user corporate webstore profiles, an RFQ management dashboard, and automatic SKU integration with industry search engines ILS and AeroXchange. The platform is self-serve and free to access with registration, complemented by inside sales teams across the Americas, EMEA, and Asia Pacific and a 24/7/365 AOG emergency hotline. Supporting offerings include the Channel Partner Program, Surplus Inventory Solutions (direct acquisition and consignment), Engine Services (leasing, trading, LRU/LLP exchange, QEC support, with CF34 specialization), and Aircraft Part Sourcing.
DASI generates revenue primarily through transactional parts sales at margin spread over acquisition cost, supplemented by transaction fees on Channel Partner inventory, engine leasing and trading, and AOG service fees. Pricing is unit-based with a $180 USD minimum order value, $100 for on-account customers, 30-day quote validity, and discounts tied to traceability documentation. The company holds ASA-100 certification since 2001 and AS9120 certification since 2023. In July 2023, Marubeni Corporation acquired a 50% equity stake coinciding with Fortress Investment Group's exit, and in April 2026 Marubeni acquired the remaining 50%, making DASI a wholly owned subsidiary positioned for combination with Marubeni's Magellan Aviation Group.
