AAF Spares LLC

What AAF Spares LLC does

AAF Spares LLC is a private Florida-incorporated joint venture between Avtrade (described as the world's largest independent aircraft spare parts supplier) and AFI KLM E&M (Air France KLM Engineering & Maintenance), formed in 2011 and headquartered in Doral, Florida. The company supplies FAA/EASA-certified aircraft components and rotables to commercial airlines and Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) providers, with a primary geographic focus on the USA and Americas and a stated global AOG (Aircraft On Ground) dispatch capability inherited from Avtrade's worldwide logistics network. Its core inventory covers Boeing (737C, 737NG, 747, 757, 767, 777, 787) and Airbus (A300, A310, A320, A330, A340, A350, E170/E190 Family) rotables, with additional support for ATR and Embraer platforms, spanning comprehensive ATA chapter coverage.

The company's product portfolio spans aircraft component sale, exchange, and loan arrangements; base kit leasing; aircraft component management (including repair management and warranty administration); and 24/7/365 AOG emergency support. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; revenue mechanics mix one-time component sales, transaction-fee exchanges and loans, recurring base kit leasing, and managed services for ongoing component programs. Distribution relies on a dedicated enterprise field sales motion with account management, augmented by integration with ILS (Internet Leasing System) and Aeroxchange industry platforms for inventory availability search. The firm holds ASA-100 accreditation aligned with FAA Advisory Circular 00-56A, qualifying it as a compliant distributor of certified aircraft components. Headcount is in the 11-50 range, and the company has no disclosed funding rounds, M&A activity, named customer logos, or management team bios in the available data, making financial and growth signals difficult to assess empirically.
