AvAir Acquires Full Stop Technics
Acquisition Expands AvAir’s Aftermarket Platform with Certified Wheel and Brake Repair Capabilities
CHANDLER, Ariz., July 15, 2026 — AvAir, an industry-leading inventory solutions provider for the aviation aftermarket, has acquired Full Stop Technics, adding FAA- and EASA-certified wheel and brake maintenance, repair and overhaul capabilities to its global aftermarket platform.
“This acquisition strengthens AvAir’s aftermarket platform by adding certified wheel and brake MRO capabilities,” said Mike Bianco, CEO of AvAir. “Full Stop Technics brings the technical expertise and customer-first approach that make it the right fit as we continue to expand support for our customers.”
Full Stop Technics brings specialized wheel and brake maintenance, repair and overhaul expertise to AvAir’s aftermarket platform, complementing AvAir’s inventory scale with certified in-house service capabilities.
“This partnership is a great fit for our customers and our long-term strategy, especially following our recent purchase of more than 1,600 wheels and brakes from Lufthansa Technik,” added Brandon Wesson, President of AvAir. “Bringing this capability in house allows us to pair AvAir’s extensive inventory position with certified wheel and brake repair support, creating a faster, more integrated solution and a significant benefit for our customers.”
The acquisition reflects AvAir’s continued investment in capabilities that broaden its global aftermarket offering and strengthen support for airlines, OEMs and MRO customers. AvAir also recently opened its third facility in Dallas, Texas, adjacent to Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, further expanding its North American distribution network.
“Joining forces with AvAir marks an exciting new chapter for Full Stop Technics and the customers we serve,” said Bill Morales, President of Full Stop Technics. “Over nearly four decades, our team has built a reputation for responsiveness, precision and quality in wheel and brake MRO. AvAir shares those values, and together we can give customers a more connected experience from parts sourcing through certified repair and overhaul. We look forward to supporting our team, our customers and the broader aviation community in this next phase.”
