Online aircraft supply company BAS Part Sales has acquired the assets of longtime competitor White Industries. The purchase will add over a million airplane parts and 1,800 fuselages to the Greely, Colorado salvage company’s rotable aircraft components and systems inventory. Along with the significant boost to the company’s stock of airplane parts, the acquisition gives BAS Part Sales immediate entry into business jet replacement parts. 

“By acquiring White Industries, we gain access to jet engine aircraft parts and fuselages, and that is a huge step up for us,” said BAS president Jared Boles. “By expanding our inventory and expertise for piston engine aircraft parts for brands such as Cessna, Beechcraft, Cirrus, Mooney, and Piper, as well as expanding into jet engine aircraft parts for brands such as Learjet, Hawker, Mitsubishi, JetStar, Merlin, Beechjet, and Jetstream, we are putting even more distance between us and our competitors.”

As part of the acquisition, BAS received inventory, 170 acres of outdoor airplane storage, 90,000 sq ft of hangar storage, and a runway in Bates City, Missouri. The company will retain the four employees of White Industries, bringing its total staff to 30. “We are excited about the acquisition, and we know our customers will be thrilled with the sheer extent of the inventory we’ll have to offer,” Boles said.
