ECT Aviation Support

What ECT Aviation Support does

ECT Aviation Group (operating as ECT Aviation Support) is a privately held, Sharjah-headquartered aviation services company founded in 2019, positioned as a 360-degree aviation partner serving fleet operators, aircraft lessors, OEMs, governments, and financial institutions worldwide. The company operates five integrated service lines: (1) Aircraft Asset Management — full-lifecycle trading, leasing, and remarketing of aircraft, engines, and major components; (2) Spare Parts Supply — an ASA-100 accredited, FAA AC 00-56 listed inventory of 150,000+ certified P/Ns covering rotables, consumables, and expendables; (3) Technical Services — line maintenance, return-to-service, teardown, and preservation delivered through an ECAA Part-145 approved MRO partner; (4) Consultancy — regulatory compliance, maintenance reviews, re-delivery management, and lease inspections across EASA, FAA, and ECAA jurisdictions; and (5) a 24/7 AOG Support Desk with a guaranteed first response under 30 minutes. The company is also AFRA certified for aircraft disassembly (Certificate No. 2026ETCA-301), a capability expanded materially in April 2026 with the acquisition of four aircraft for teardown, including a Boeing 737-700NG.

ECT's revenue model is a mix of transaction fees (parts sales and aircraft/asset trading margins) and professional services (MRO technical work and consultancy). Distribution is B2B enterprise sales-led, with a layered go-to-market combining an inside sales desk ([email protected]), a 24/7 AOG hotline (+971 50 617 7361), a self-serve website parts catalogue with RFQ, and an active event presence at major industry conferences (MRO Middle East, MRO America, ISTAT Asia, MRO Europe, Airline Economics Dubai). The company has scaled to 9+ office locations across the UAE (Sharjah HQ, Fujairah), Saudi Arabia (Jeddah, Riyadh), the United Kingdom (London), the United States (Hialeah, FL), and Egypt (Hurghada, Sharm El Sheikh, Cairo). With a 11-50 headcount, no disclosed funding rounds, and no publicly traded status, ECT operates as a self-funded private enterprise with high-touch relationship-based commercial motion targeting enterprise-grade counterparties.
