Aviation Aftermarket Parts
A smarter marketplace for the global aviation aftermarket.
Aviatrading is a digital marketplace where aviation professionals buy and sell aircraft parts faster and more transparently. Whether you run MRO operations, hold OEM overstock or trade used and serviceable parts, Aviatrading helps you turn inventory into deals.
What are aviation aftermarket parts?
The aviation aftermarket is the network of businesses that maintain, repair and support aircraft after the manufacturer (OEM) delivers them. Aftermarket parts include:
- replacement parts for scheduled and unscheduled maintenance;
- components used in MRO operations;
- serviceable and overhauled parts from aircraft teardowns;
- PMA (Parts Manufacturer Approval) alternatives to OEM components.
These parts keep commercial, cargo and business fleets flying safely around the world.
Types of aftermarket parts
The aftermarket covers every aircraft system:
- Airframe and structures — fuselage panels, flight control surfaces, doors, actuators, composite parts.
- Engines and power systems — turbine blades, compressors, fuel control units, ignition systems.
- Avionics and electrical — sensors, navigation and communication units, flight computers, displays.
- Landing gear and brakes — wheels, struts, hydraulic assemblies, brakes.
- Interior and cabin — seats, lighting, galleys, lavatories, safety equipment.
- Consumables and hardware — seals, filters, bearings, fasteners.
Each category includes OEM and PMA parts, which gives buyers flexibility without compromising compliance.
The aviation aftermarket at a glance
According to Fortune Business Insights (2024), the global aviation aftermarket parts market was valued at USD 42.9 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach USD 93.5 billion by 2032.
Growth is driven by:
- ageing fleets in North America and Asia;
- the expansion of low-cost carriers and cargo operations;
- rising demand for MRO services and PMA parts;
- the move to digital sourcing and traceability.
This creates a clear need for transparent online marketplaces where buyers and sellers meet directly.
Aviatrading — a marketplace built for aviation
Our goal is simple: make aircraft parts trading faster, clearer and fairer.
- Aviation only. Every listing is an aircraft part.
- Commission after sale. Sellers pay only after a completed deal — no subscriptions, no listing fees.

Aviatrading is built around how aviation professionals actually work.
The role of the aftermarket
The aftermarket is more than a supply chain — it is what keeps global aviation moving. When airlines or MROs need components, the aftermarket delivers:
- shorter lead times than ordering new from the OEM;
- cost savings through serviceable and PMA parts;
- longer part life cycles and less waste;
- global access through digital platforms.
The industry is moving from phone-and-email relationships to digital, data-driven sourcing.

Finding the right aftermarket part should not take days. On Aviatrading you can:

For sellers: turn idle stock into revenue

- keep track of inquiries and conversations in one place.
You pay a commission only after a successful sale. See how to list aircraft parts for sale or how wholesale selling works.
Documentation standards
Trust in the aftermarket starts with documentation. A part should come with:
- an FAA 8130-3 or EASA Form 1 release certificate;
- part and serial numbers;
- maintenance, overhaul or teardown reports;
- a clear condition code (NE, OH, SV, AR).
