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 is a premium supplier of aircraft parts, spares, equipment and tooling. It also offers services in procurement, inventory consignment/purchasing and 24/7 AOG.

Avant Aerospace is a wholly-owned subsidiary of West Star Aviation Holdings. The company continues to operate under its brand while offering West Star customers its part products and full capabilities. Avant has expanded its inventory/support beyond Dassault Falcon to include Bombardier, Textron, Piaggio, and Gulfstream. All part and equipment repairs are completed by OEMs or authorised repair agents.
