A client needed a part no longer in production to get its aircraft out of check. Using our extensive database, Broadwing Aviation identified a supplier in Europe who had purchased the remaining stock years previously, with no public record. Broadwing Aviation saved the client more than $100,000 and was instrumental in getting the aircraft back into operation on time.

The horizontal stabilizer on a prime contractor’s 757 panel was damaged. The OEM had no stock, a 365-day lead time and a $124,500 list price. So, the client called Broadwing Aviation. Our team at Broadwing Aviation was able to use vast market knowledge, including strategic partnerships, to locate a retired 757, remove the panel, and have it repaired and delivered in 45 days for $69,500.

A frustrated client mentioned in passing he consistently buys the same new parts from an OEM, and endures a 120-day lead time every time. Broadwing Aviation proactively contacted the OEM to negotiate a volume parts buy. The result was a price reduction of 30% and a new lead time of only 1 day.

With client-proclaimed second-to-none service, Broadwing Aviation improved the client’s reliability program and PO/RO tallies—something even its senior management has noticed. With the best OTP and reliability standards in the entire fleet, equally important to the service is our hospitality, the client says.

In 2017, Broadwing Aviation supported a valued client with 280 purchase orders, more than 110 repair orders, and 23 AOGs. As a direct result of our component reliability and management of components through shop visits, the client’s POs, ROs and AOGs were “significantly reduced” year over year. The client was so pleased, they took the time to personally thank us for our “exceptional standard of service.”
