AirStart – Flying High with ASA-100 and AS9120

Jim Lee, simpleQuE President, congratulates Ritchin Sen, AirStart Quality Manager, on ASA-100 accreditation with Aviation Suppliers Association (ASA). Also AS9120 certified, AirStart is the company that has a passion for aviation, airplanes and its clients. Jim consulted with AirStart to prepare them for ASA-100 accreditation and AS9120 certification which is based on the aerospace standard AS9100 with specific requirements relevant for aircraft parts distributors. ASA-100 is a quality system standard for civil aircraft parts distributors based on FAA good practices in AC 00-56.  SimpleQuE continues to support them in maintaining certification and accreditation with semi-annual internal audits.

AirStart is recognized for its expertise on Bombardier CRJ and Q400 parts, as well as narrow and wide body Airbus and Boeing equipment.  Their rotable parts services provide repair, exchange, lease and purchase options. They have even trademarked the phrase – “Rotable parts at the speed of (F)Light”.

After 15 years of keeping aircraft in flight, AirStart also offers leasing options for Bombardier operators. The company, based in Toronto, is innovative in their approach with experts to fill customer’s needs – from technical consulting, to engine or component lease, to leasing aircraft, to providing complete Minimum Equipment List (MEL) items to support new airline ventures.
