Aerostar

What Aerostar does

Aerostar is an FAA/EASA Part 145 certified aircraft component repair station founded in 2011 and headquartered at the Brookley Aeroplex in Mobile, Alabama, adjacent to Airbus's A320 and A220 Final Assembly Lines and VT MAE. The company specializes in the repair and overhaul of four component verticals—hydraulic, pneumatic, electromechanical, and aircraft power generation (IDG/Generator, CSD, auxiliary and AC generators)—across virtually all commercial platforms (Boeing, Airbus, Embraer, Bombardier, McDonnell Douglas) as well as military and OEM applications. Its capabilities catalog spans over 4,000 part numbers across ATA chapters 21, 24, 27, 29, 30, 32, 33, 36, 38, 49, 52, 71, 75, 78, 80 and 83, with all repairs issued under FAA/EASA Dual Release 8130 authentication.

The technical backbone of the business is an in-house Test Cell division built around recently acquired capital equipment: a Bauer hydraulic test system (Linear, Servo, Pump/Motor and Power Unit stands) rated to the ~5,000 psi range required by next-generation B787 and A350 aircraft, a TestTek Model 102160-c23 IDG/CSD/Generator test cell (300 HP variable speed drive, up to 15,000 RPM, 125 KVA load bank), and an American Lab Skydrol stand (3,500 PSI dynamic / 10,000 PSI static). These test assets differentiate Aerostar's ability to validate and certify components for higher-pressure modern fleets.

Aerostar operates a sales-led, direct go-to-market model targeting commercial airlines, military, OEMs and other MROs globally, generating leads through MRO Americas trade shows, newsletters, podcasts and community engagement. Revenue is transactional and quote-based—one-time repair and overhaul services priced per component with warranty terms—rather than recurring; no pricing tiers are publicly disclosed. The company holds a broad certification portfolio (FAA 145, EASA Part 145, UK CAA 145, ASA, R449) and is privately held by its founding partners with no disclosed external institutional capital.
