The June 2026 edition of AirMail from AVIAN Inventory Management features insights on the emerging market for aircraft component financing, highlights from MRO Americas 2026, leadership perspectives from CEO Ian Gurekian, and a profile of aviation veteran Brian Garceau. Discover how airlines, MROs, and OEMs are navigating supply chain challenges, unlocking capital from aerospace inventory, and building smarter aviation operations.

Component financing is emerging as the next evolution in aviation finance. As airlines, MROs, and OEMs seek greater flexibility and stronger balance sheets, financing aircraft components and rotables is becoming a strategic alternative to traditional ownership models. Discover why early adopters are using aviation inventory as a financeable asset class to unlock capital, improve liquidity, and support long-term growth.

With more than 40 years of aviation experience spanning aircraft maintenance, teardown operations, repairs, and airline technical leadership, Brian Garceau brings deep operational expertise to AVIAN’s inventory management strategy. In this interview, Brian discusses aircraft teardown best practices, aviation inventory accuracy, cross-functional collaboration, and what makes AVIAN a trusted partner for airlines, MROs, and OEMs worldwide.

At the Go Live stage during MRO Americas 2026, Ian Gurekian explains why the aviation supply chain’s biggest challenge may not just be parts availability — but capital trapped in inventory. From buffer stock accumulation and working capital pressure to the future of financeable aerospace inventory assets, Ian outlines how smarter capital solutions can help suppliers, OEMs, and operators unlock liquidity and build a more resilient aviation aftermarket ecosystem.

In this episode of the Time on Wing Podcast, Ian Gurekian of AVIAN Inventory Management shares insights from his career spanning aviation consulting, aircraft leasing, and investment finance. The conversation explores the dynamics of helicopter leasing, the impact of aircraft groundings on investors, and the evolving need for innovative capital solutions in the aviation aftermarket.

Discover insights from AVIAN AirMail’s November 2025 edition: defense-aerospace realignment, industrial capacity challenges, Embraer E-Jet secondary-market growth, global supply-chain pressures, and how AVIAN’s capital, consignment, and distribution solutions help airlines, MROs, and manufacturers stay agile.

IATA and Oliver Wyman warn that aircraft and parts shortages could cost airlines more than $11B in 2025. Delayed deliveries, aging fleets, higher fuel burn, rising maintenance costs, and increased engine leasing are reshaping airline strategies amid a record 17,000-aircraft backlog.

Embraer’s E1 E-Jet platform is seeing strong global resurgence, with growing orders, active secondary-market demand, and new operators adopting E175, E190, and E195 aircraft for their low costs, reliability, and ideal fit for regional and developing markets.

AVIAN provides manufacturers, airlines, and MROs with tailored inventory- and asset-based capital solutions, AS9120-certified distribution, and a global sales channel partner network that maximizes value, accelerates sales, and unlocks trapped capital with unmatched speed and transparency.

Defense aerospace is entering a period of structural reordering as geopolitical realignment, supply-chain constraints, technological diffusion, and global competition reshape priorities. Nations and OEMs are adapting with reindustrialization, modular production, and faster innovation cycles to maintain strategic advantage.

Insights from Ishka Aviation Investival and Airline Economics Growth Frontiers highlight a market defined by investor confidence amid persistent supply-chain constraints. Engine delivery delays, MRO capacity shortages, and rising repair costs continue to shape aircraft and parts values. As capital remains abundant, AVIAN notes that access to both financial and operational capability will define success through the next phase of aviation’s recalibration.

AVIAN Inventory Management has successfully completed its annual AS9120 / ISO 9001 surveillance audit and recertification, reinforcing its commitment to world-class quality standards in aviation parts distribution and capital solutions. From its 72,000 sq. ft. Orlando hub, AVIAN manages over 219,000 inventory lines spanning Embraer and Bombardier platforms, while preparing to certify its new Brisbane facility to deliver the same excellence across the APAC region.

AVIAN Inventory Management has entered the Australasian market with a landmark Alliance Airlines agreement and a new distribution hub in Brisbane. By acquiring and managing Embraer E190 inventory, AVIAN is helping Alliance transition to an all-Embraer fleet while strengthening support for operators across APAC. This expansion marks a major step in AVIAN’s global growth and commitment to smarter, more efficient aviation supply solutions.

This transaction will see AVIAN purchase the airline’s E190 related inventory, establish a Brisbane distribution center to supply Alliance’s Embraer inventory needs to help achieve the airline’s anticipated growth and expansion plans. Alliance Airlines continues to transition its 79 aircraft fleet from a mix of Fokker and Embraer E190s today to an all-Embraer fleet over the forthcoming years.
