Airpart Supply

What Airpart Supply does

Airpart Supply Limited is a privately-held UK-based aviation spare parts distributor headquartered in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, with a strategically located warehouse approximately 20 minutes from London Heathrow and a newly established EU warehouse serving continental European customers. The company distributes aircraft spare parts, hardware, consumables, engine components, electrical and lighting products, ground equipment, tyres/wheels/brakes, oils and greases, and anti-corrosion products under authorized — and in some cases exclusive — distributor agreements with major aviation manufacturers including Champion Aerospace (exclusive distributor for rebuilt Slick magnetos), Lycoming, Plane-Power, Tronair, Start Pac, Aeroshell, Concorde Batteries, Whelen Aerospace Technologies, Meggitt Aircraft Braking Systems, Cleveland, Michelin, Goodyear, Specialty Tires of America, and Cessna Aircraft Parts.

The company operates a B2B/B2C e-commerce platform (airpart.co.uk) with part-number and multi-line search, multi-currency pricing in GBP/USD/EUR, trade account login with exclusive discounts, and a £25 minimum order threshold. Distribution is direct to customers worldwide, with free delivery offered within the UK and selected EU countries on qualifying orders. The customer base spans general aviation operators, flying clubs, flight schools, private owners, corporate operators, helicopter operations, airline maintenance facilities, aircraft component manufacturers, government purchasing agencies, and aerial survey operators — with no enterprise anchor customers disclosed.

Revenue is generated primarily through one-time unit-priced sales of aircraft spare parts under a pay-as-you-go model, with trade account pricing for aviation businesses. The company is ISO 9001 certified through NQA with UKAS accreditation and maintains GDPR compliance, but does not disclose revenue, headcount, funding, or ownership structure in publicly available material. No AI, proprietary technology platform, or software products are part of the offering; the business is fundamentally a specialized physical-goods distribution operation.
