Aventure Aviation, an MRO shop based in Georgia, USA that refurbishes aircraft interiors, has acquired Atlanta Aviation International, an FAA Certified Repair Station also based in Georgia. Aventure will benefit from the addition of Atlanta Aviation International’s capabilities and its domestic and global customer base.
As part of the terms of the acquisition, Atlanta Aviation’s shop will relocate from Atlanta and become part of the Aventure campus in Peachtree City, Georgia, which includes a newly built 70,000 square foot warehouse.
The plan is for Aventure and Atlanta Aviation to combine and create a strong and diversified services portfolio that will allow both companies to globally scale their capabilities and offer additional services while pursuing new opportunities in the aftermarket sector and MRO services. The sales and customer support capabilities of both companies will be strengthened, while also providing new aircraft interiors refurbishment options for aircraft owners.
Mike Thatch, the president of Atlanta Aviation International, and his entire team will continue their roles to provide a seamless transition to the new Peachtree City location.
“The acquisition of Atlanta Aviation represents an important threshold for Aventure and helps build our strategy of bringing the capabilities of an MRO shop in-house for the first time,” said Talha Faruqi, president of Aventure, adding that “it’s a strategic move on our part to now provide complementary capabilities and MRO services for our huge inventory of aircraft parts.”
“With a scaled MRO facility inside the Aventure campus, we will increase our offering across different platforms in the aviation industry that incorporates the growing commercial airline and MRO industry, business and general aircraft, helicopters and defence markets,” Faruqi continued.
Michael Thatch, president of Atlanta Aviation added that the company will leverage Aventure’s purchase of end-of-life aircraft and offer solutions to customers with refurbished aircraft interior parts on a sale and exchange basis.
“Aventure’s strong relationships with commercial and military customers and leasing companies will certainly help Atlanta Aviation reach new heights,” he added,
