Universal Avionics (UA) presented its Outstanding Dealer Awards at the 67th Annual AEA International Convention and Expo in Dallas, Texas. This award recognises authorised dealers who exemplify exceptional service, sales achievement and a commitment to supporting high-quality customer experiences, and this year's winners are Southeast Aerospace, Duncan Aviation, Avmax Aviation Services, Trimec Aviation and Rocky Mountain Aircraft.

"Universal's authorised dealers are essential to providing the best possible customer experiences for our innovative solutions," says CEO Dror Yahav. "Their expertise and dedication help our customers find the ideal solutions for their aircraft. We're proud of this strong network and look forward to continuing to achieve excellence together."

Southeast Aerospace is a premier aviation company in Melbourne, Florida offering complete aircraft modifications, repair services and parts distribution. Its team of avionics experts achieved certification for the first Hawker 800 modification with Universal's InSight display system and data communications. A second STC is expected in Q2 for the InSight upgrade on Hawker 800XP aircraft originally equipped with Honeywell systems.

Avmax Aviation Services simplifies customer aviation needs with comprehensive maintenance, repair and avionics installation services from its Calgary headquarters in Canada. In 2023, Avmax continued to add aircraft to its Approved Model List (AML) STC for Kapture cockpit voice recorders and achieved success with SBAS FMS upgrades with LPV.

Trimec Aviation is headquartered in Fort Worth, Texas, with over three decades of experience serving customers with a commitment to safety, quality and customer satisfaction. Earlier this year, Trimec completed the InSight upgrade for the Falcon 2000/EX aircraft, including FANS and CPDLC (controller-pilot data link communications), providing customers with nextgen modifications while saving time and enhancing safety.
