About Avalon Aero

Avalon Aero started operations in 2000 by providing hands-on technical advice and maintenance support for the conversion, and subsequent worldwide operation, of a specialist BAe 146 research aircraft. Martin, our Managing Director, has been with us from the start and has helped build the company into the premier maintenance provider that we see today. Crucially, growth has not eradicated the ingrained core values that are typical of a small, family-run business.

We pride ourselves on our reputation for being open, trustworthy, reliable and transparent in all our activities and relationships. We work tirelessly to make our customers’ involvement as straightforward as possible and we have a proven record in offering those customers the reassurance of knowing that their valuable assets will be delivered back to them on budget, on time and in good order.

In the competitive and demanding aviation industry, we realise how important it is to keep our delivery promises.

Over the past 25+ years, we have built up a second-to-none reputation for the provision of aircraft maintenance, special mission projects and large scale, bespoke conversions on various aircraft types and sizes; our skill set with the BAe
146 / Avro RJ types is renowned across the world.

Not content with resting on our laurels, we are committed to expanding into the future. We have recently relocated into a newly refurbished, larger facility at Cranfield Airport, UK, and made significant investments into adopting new aircraft types and special mission projects.
