Veteran-owned and focused on providing parts for legacy aircraft, Tradewind International LLC is a trusted supplier of new, overhauled, serviceable and as-removed parts for helicopters of all ages.
Tradewind purchases excess inventories from operators who have changed their fleet type or undergone a merger or slowdown.
“Through this process,” said company founder Peter Bales, “we can provide our customers with considerable
cost savings.”
Tradewind owns its entire inventory, which is stored on site in its custom-built, 19,000-square-foot warehouse.
“If a customer has a question about a part we have in stock,” said Bales, “we can literally hold it in our hands while we work with them.”
Customers are also sent detailed stock information and photos with each quote.
“This allows us to provide each customer with an accurate representation of every part before it’s purchased.”
Bales began Tradewind International in 1991, buying and selling light turbine helicopters and parts inventories. Today, nearly a dozen dedicated employees work hard to create unique solutions for customers across the globe.
“Our employees have decades of experience in aviation, helicopter operations, and aircraft part sales,” said Bales. “That experience provides us with the understanding of our clients’ needs–and we have proudly earned a reputation for outstanding service.”
