Driving innovation in aircraft parts trading

Building a global aircraft parts trading platform is no small feat. The procurement process, plagued by inefficiencies and delays, costs airlines valuable time and money -something the industry has long been looking for innovators to solve.

Enter Spaero founder, Myles Corey. After years of hands-on experience in the aviation sector, Myles set about devising a unique platform which could accelerate procurement and reduce lengthy Aircraft on Ground (AOG) scenarios, delivering:

• The first and only seamless end-to-end trading process – from RFQ to purchase, repair and guaranteed delivery.
• Assurance that all listed parts are not only high-quality but, more importantly, immediately available when needed.
• A unified platform to handle single transactions of multiple parts, sourced from different sellers.

After years of in-depth research, platform innovation and collaborative feedback from a select group of test operators, Spaero launched in 2024 as a game-changing solution.

In Spring 2025, all partner airlines will gain exclusive access to a platform that’s set to redefine the way aviation parts are traded. However, the platform’s proven capabilities and clear vision have led to impressive success, drawing notable airlines – such as British Airways & Brussels Airlines, key parts suppliers such as Setna iO & RASG, and Maintenance providers including Tarmac Aerospace & Jet Aviation – to adopt the platform.

Real-World Innovation and Revolutionising the RFQ Process

For Myles, launching the platform is just the beginning of his innovation journey, as he continues to identify and address the industry’s challenges. His latest focus is on streamlining the process of finding and ordering parts, making it faster and simpler for any user.

Testing features with partners such as British Airways, it was identified that the real-world process of searching, buying and shipping parts can be hugely frustrating and incredibly time-consuming. It also varied from airline to airline, or even from one team member to another.

To break through these challenges, Spaero has developed a revolutionary email-to-RFQ feature (eRFQ) – a simple, intuitive solution to streamline the ordering process. Instead of spending time navigating a complex interface, users can now send a request for quote (RFQ) via email, bypassing the hassle of traditional workflows.

Thanks to Spaero’s cutting-edge AI technology, the system instantly understands the request, matches available parts or repair options and responds with a tailored list of solutions. Users can then quickly confirm their order – no fuss, no delay.

By fusing innovation with real-world practicality, Spaero has created a platform that’s not just a tool, but a game-changing asset for airlines worldwide. Ready for take-off, this solution is poised to make challenging AOG scenarios a thing of the past.
