AvAir Secures $170M in Revolving Credit
The aviation aftermarket specialist closed new revolving credit facilities with six banks alongside its recent acquisition of a wheel and brake repair provider.
Updated on Nov. 4, 2026 in Auto Parts
AvAir, a U.S. aviation aftermarket specialist, closed US$170m in new revolving credit facilities with six banks, including HSBC Bank USA and Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank. The financing supports inventory purchases, general corporate needs and expansion of its aircraft aftermarket operations.
Why it matters
The facilities add financing capacity for aircraft-parts inventory, working capital and acquisitions at a time when AvAir is expanding its repair capabilities. Revolving credit lets a distributor replenish and grow inventory without arranging a separate loan for each purchase.
AvAir closed US$170m in revolving credit spread across six banks, a total the company has not broken down by lender. The company has not disclosed pricing, maturities, collateral or how much of the facilities has been drawn.
The players
AvAir
AvAir is a U.S. aviation aftermarket specialist that sells, exchanges, leases and consigns aircraft parts to airlines, original equipment manufacturers and maintenance organisations.
HSBC Bank USA
HSBC Bank USA is the U.S. arm of the global banking group HSBC and is one of the six lenders in the facilities.
Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank
Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank is the corporate and investment banking arm of the French banking group Crédit Agricole and is one of the six lenders.
The details
AvAir closed the revolving credit facilities with HSBC Bank USA, Crédit Agricole Corporate and Investment Bank, First Citizens Bank, Western Alliance Bank, Flagstar Bank and Sunflower Bank. The closing followed the company's acquisition of Full Stop Technics, a Milwaukee-based provider of certified aircraft wheel and brake repair services that adds maintenance, repair and overhaul capabilities to its distribution business.
Timeline
Article on the closing of the US$170m facilities was published November 4, 2026.
Full Stop Technics acquisition was completed prior to the financing closing; the exact date was not provided.
Roadmap
AvAir's financing and its Full Stop Technics acquisition reflect a broader aftermarket model in which distributors of certified aircraft parts increasingly add repair and overhaul services to their sales operations. Pairing parts inventory with MRO capability lets aftermarket firms serve airlines and maintenance organisations across more of the parts lifecycle.
For operators and maintenance organisations that buy certified parts from AvAir, the added financing capacity may help sustain inventory availability across more customers. The financing does not change how or where parts are purchased by everyday vehicle owners.
The takeaway
Revolving credit gives aftermarket distributors room to restock and expand without a separate loan for each transaction. Watching whether AvAir discloses drawn amounts and pricing later will show how heavily it relies on this financing.
