Safety
Every part touches a flight-critical system. Safety is the floor, not the ceiling.
Our Story
Three decades of overhaul leadership. Aerospace precision.
Advanced Air pioneered just-in-time landing-gear overhaul, online ordering since 1995, and the 24-hour AOG turnaround. AS9100D, FAA 145, and ITAR certified. The standard by which other landing-gear component manufacturers are measured.
Mission
Reduce turn times. Reduce overhaul cost. Period.
Advanced Air delivers high-quality, precision-engineered landing-gear components — gear legs, shock absorbers, struts, actuators, custom bushings, sleeves, and out-of-scope nuts — that ensure the safety and performance of aircraft landing-gear systems. Our mission is the reduction of our customers' turn times and the costs associated with oversized overhaul shops.
We strive to complete daily work and begin fresh with the urgent demands of clients. Backlog is the enemy. Customers will not find a better supplier of landing-gear components and overhaul bushings — period.
Core Values
Four pillars. Every part, every day.
Every bushing, gear leg, and shock-strut body that leaves the floor reflects the same four values that have guided Advanced Air for over thirty years.
Precision
Tight tolerances and a paper trail that proves it — on every shipment, every time.
Reliability
Three decades of on-time delivery, and a 24-hour AOG playbook nobody else can match.
Innovation
JIT delivery, online ordering since 1995, the proprietary Seneca ERP — we don’t stand still.
