31 January 2020:Boeing has decided to retire the Aviall brand name. Parts, equipment and supply chain solutions previously sold by Aviall will be provided directly by Boeing through its portfolio of aerospace aftermarket supply chain service offerings.
"Through our robust and growing supply chain capability, Boeing offers industry-leading distribution and repair solutions to customers across the commercial, government, business and general aviation markets," said William Ampofo, vice president of Global Services Supply Chain. "Streamlining our operations under a single brand will further strengthen the services and support our customers know and trust from Boeing, Aviall and legacy KLX Aerospace. We will work closely with customers and suppliers to help them realize the benefits of the industry's most integrated, optimized and responsive global supply chain."
Since 1932, Aviall and its predecessor companies have offered aftermarket parts, equipment and services for the aviation industry. In 2006, the company was taken over by Boeing, and has operated as part of Boeing's supply chain capability since 2017.
