Regional Airline Support Group

What Regional Airline Support Group does

Regional Airline Support Group (RASG) is a privately held aerospace aftermarket parts distributor founded in 1999 by Jeffrey Turk and headquartered in Coral Springs, Florida. The company specializes in new and aftermarket parts for commuter, regional, and narrow body aircraft platforms, specifically ATR, Dash 8, CRJ, ERJ, A319/A320, and 737 Classic/NG variants. RASG serves airline operators, MRO stations, and similar aviation customers across global markets with a comprehensive service portfolio spanning consignment inventory management, surplus inventory acquisition, provisioning packages, exchange pools, asset management, inventory and engine leasing, rotables management, repair management, and technical consulting.

RASG's underlying capability is physical inventory management and certified parts distribution rather than a software platform; its operational technology centers on a certified quality management system (ISO 9001:2015, AS9120B, ASA 100, FAA AC 00-56B), multilingual sales staff covering Spanish, Italian, French, and Portuguese, and a 24/7 worldwide AOG emergency response function. In 2022, RASG became an Embraer authorized Sales Channel Partner via a partnership with Avian Inventory Management, distinguishing it as one of a select group approved to sell surplus Embraer commercial and business jet parts.

The business model combines transactional one-time parts sales, consignment management fees, exchange pool transaction fees, recurring inventory and engine leases, and professional services consulting, all priced via custom quotation rather than published rates. Go-to-market is sales-led B2B with a VP of Sales, VP of Business Development & Marketing, and direct inside/field engagement targeting enterprise airline accounts globally. RASG is founder/family-owned (Jeffrey Turk as Founder/President, Julie Turk as VP/CFO), with no disclosed institutional investors or public revenue figures; headcount sits in the 11-50 employee range.

Products and services

• Consignment Inventory Management Consignment program in which RASG holds and manages customer-owned aircraft parts inventory and monetizes it on the customer's behalf, freeing airlines and MROs from capital tied up in spare parts while RASG handles storage, sales, and distribution.
• Surplus Inventory Acquisition Service that buys or takes ownership of surplus aircraft parts inventories from airlines and MROs, allowing operators to monetize idle assets and recover capital tied up in excess stock.
• Provisioning Packages Customized parts provisioning packages assembled by RASG to support scheduled and unscheduled maintenance events for commuter/regional and narrow body operators, bundling rotables and consumables into a single deployment-ready kit.
• Exchange Pool Program Rotable exchange pool in which airlines and MROs can exchange serviceable units for overhauled units on demand, minimizing aircraft downtime and avoiding the capital cost of maintaining large owned rotables inventories.
• Asset Management Services Outsourced asset management for customer-owned aircraft parts inventories, including tracking, valuation, redeployment, and disposal across RASG's global stocking network.
• Inventory & Engine Leases Short- and long-term leasing of aircraft parts and engines to airlines and MROs, providing flexible access to rotable and powerplant assets without outright purchase.

Broad incumbents

• AAR Corp: AAR is a leading aviation aftermarket services provider offering parts distribution, MRO, and integrated supply chain programs to commercial and government customers. It is comparable to RASG as a broadly diversified aerospace parts distributor serving airlines and MROs, though far larger and operating across multiple segments beyond regional jets.
• HEICO Corporation: HEICO's Aerospace segment includes PMA parts manufacturing and aftermarket parts distribution for commercial and business jets, including consumables and rotable components. It is comparable as an aerospace aftermarket parts provider; its scale, OEM approvals, and MRO repair station footprint make it a broad incumbent reference for the regional aftermarket niche RASG serves.
• TransDigm Group: TransDigm owns proprietary aerospace components and aftermarket businesses (e.g., HEICO-adjacent categories) supplying parts across commercial and military fleets. Relevant as a large incumbent consolidator in the aerospace aftermarket whose pricing power and OEM relationships shape the competitive environment for smaller distributors like RASG.
• Satair: Satair, an Airbus company, provides materials management and parts distribution for Airbus commercial aircraft and beyond, serving airlines and MROs globally. It is comparable as an OEM-affiliated aerospace parts distributor targeting narrow-body operators (e.g., A319/A320 family) - a key platform in RASG's catalog.

Direct peers

• GA Telesis: GA Telesis is a global aerospace aftermarket solutions company offering parts distribution, component repair, and inventory management services. It directly parallels RASG's model of consumable and rotable parts distribution plus consignment/repair programs, with a similar focus on regional and narrow-body components but broader international scale.
• Wencor Group: Wencor is an aerospace aftermarket parts distributor specializing in distribution and MRO support for commercial and regional aircraft, including PMA parts and consumables. It is highly comparable to RASG's regional/commuter focus and its portfolio of distribution, repair management, and inventory services.
• Avian Inventory Management: Avian Inventory Management is RASG's explicit partner under the Embraer authorized Sales Channel Partner agreement and manages surplus Embraer parts. It is directly comparable as a regional/Embraer-focused parts inventory management firm, and the partnership effectively creates a shared channel for Embraer surplus distribution.
• VAS Aero Services: VAS Aero Services (an IAI subsidiary) buys, sells, and leases aircraft components and engines and provides aftermarket inventory management to airlines and MROs. Comparable to RASG in its mix of parts distribution, leasing, and inventory management for commercial aviation operators.
