Aviation is more than the wings we see in the sky. It is the harmony of thousands of parts, the expertise of professionals, and decades of accumulated knowledge. My life has unfolded in this world of parts—across supply chains, hangars, workshops, and bridges of trust with global customers.

As Türkiye’s aviation sector grew, I realized suppliers, MRO providers, and logistics partners—the “invisible heroes”—were striving separately. Each was successful in its own story, but without a united vision, reaching our rightful place in the global arena was difficult. This led to the foundation of the Association of All Aircraft Suppliers, together with 10 pioneering companies.

Havacılık Parça ve Servisleri Dış Ticaret Limited Şirketi, DNR Havacılık Hizmetleri İthalat İhracat Sanayi ve Ticaret Limited Şirketi,  Mabayco  Endüstriyel Ürünler Limited Şirketi, Stareast Air Turkey Havayolları ve Kiralama Sanayi Ticaret Limited Şirketi, BSL Havacılık ve Danışmanlık Ticaret Limited Şirketi, Vega Havacılık Taşımacılık ve Danışmanlık Hizmetleri Ticaret Limited Şirketi, UTE Technics Havacılık Sanayi Ticaret Limited Şirketi, TDT Havacılık Bakım ve Ticaret Anonim Şirketi, Sezer Havacılık Ahmet İlhami Sezer, Wencor.

Why an Association?

Aviation is never a one-man show. Just as hundreds of components must work in flawless synchronization for an aircraft to fly, our sector thrives on cooperation. As suppliers, we are stronger by rising together.

Global MRO Market Dynamics

A sound strategy begins with data.
