Av8 Group’s AOG parts unit has acquired what it says are extensive parts inventories for Hawker 800A and Bombardier Challenger 604/605 business jets, according to the Houston-based company. Active expansion of the unit’s inventories continues through the acquisition of part-out aircraft and flight department inventories, it said.

Additional Hawker 800A inventory includes a large quantity of wheels and consumables, the company said. It also adds depth to its exchange pool with additional landing gear and TKS panels used by Av8’s MRO unit. Av8 Group CEO Yoel Arnoni told AIN the Challenger inventory was from an international operator comprising “a wide variety of parts that would be required to keep an aircraft operating in a remote location.”

“These two inventories are really just the beginning of our efforts to expand the depth and support that our Av8 AOG parts unit can provide to our customers,” he added. “We are actively expanding to include other models of the Hawker and Challenger aircraft, as well as several Gulfstream models.”
