Created for airlines, by airlines, AirLiance Materials gives its partner and non-partner customers unlimited access to one of the world's largest inventories of pedigreed aircraft parts.
AirLiance Materials was formed as a joint venture in mid-1998 by United Airlines, Air Canada and Lufthansa Technik. Together, these airlines have 208 years of experience, and a history of excellence that AirLiance builds on to provide superior services and an extensive inventory of pre-owned parts at lower costs.
Headquartered in Chicago, the company moved into a new, state-of-the-art facility specially designed for the efficient warehousing, handling and shipment of aerospace components and systems. The facility, which utilizes a number of innovative approaches and handling systems, was conceived to support the needs of AirLiance Materials customers today and in the future. In addition to its headquarter facility in Chicago, the company is opening a separate sales support facility in Florida this year and also maintains support offices in the Americas, Europe, and Asia.
AirLiance Materials employs state-of-the-art business and operations systems such as BAAN software that drive our worldwide sales, purchasing, inventory and e-commerce operations.
The company represents a new way of doing business. Its mission is to give its customers streamlined, cost-effective ways to optimize their operations. By doing so, AirLiance Materials is rapidly becoming the supply chain management partner for the air transportation industry. l |
