Avant Aerospace has recently relocated from Dallas, Texas to Hangar #12 at the St. Louis Downtown airport in close proximity to parent company West Star Aviation's full-service MRO location at East Alton, Illinois.

Avant relocated its offices and complete inventory to the new location to improve overall efficiency and consolidate inventory in the 20,000 sq ft hangar. “Relocating and being closer to the East Alton MRO will centralise our inventory, thus reducing delivery time and shipping expense,” states director John Hardy.

Avant Aerospace is a wholly-owned subsidiary of West Star Aviation Holdings.
