AvAir opens Dallas facility to boost parts logistics
AvAir expands its U.S. footprint with a new Dallas facility to strengthen aircraft parts distribution and support urgent AOG requirements and beyond.
The Fort Worth region has a strong aerospace and aviation ecosystem and is home to one of North America's largest logistics networks, with Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) ranking among the world's busiest cargo hubs. AvAir's new facility will capitalise on this strategic location to enhance distribution capabilities and enable faster deliveries across the United States, a key advantage when airlines need urgent parts to prevent aircraft-on-ground (AOG) disruptions.
Serving more than 3,100 customers worldwide, AvAir said the Dallas facility will support both domestic and international operations.
Tyler Botthof, COO of AvAir, said, “Our new Dallas location complements our facilities in Chandler and Dublin, creating a strategically located hub that enhances inventory availability and streamlines distribution to customers worldwide.”
In addition to its warehouse operations, the new facility will accommodate dedicated sales and support teams, comprising both existing employees and recruits. As part of the expansion, Brian Longmeyer, vice president of sales, powerplants, will relocate to Dallas and take on the additional role of general manager, overseeing all Dallas-based operations while leading the regional sales team. Longmeyer joined AvAir in 2021 and brings more than three decades of industry experience.
At the same time, AvAir has promoted Kevin Lenz to executive vice president, powerplants. Based in Chandler, Arizona, Lenz, who has been with the company since 2010, will continue to enhance AvAir's powerplant operations and support its global growth strategy.
