Timeline
Quality & Reliability
 Prime Air’s total commitment to quality is reflected in all of its internal procedures and external interactions. A stringent quality manual, authored with the assistance of an FAA licensed A&P engineer and approved by some of the largest commercial airlines, guides Prime Air personnel and serves as a solid foundation for all of Prime Air’s quality control issues. Consistent with Prime Air’s high quality standards, all parts are overhauled, repaired and tested by licensed FAA/EASA approved facilities. Complete documentation, including an FAA 8130-3 or an EASA form release, accompanies every part. Prime Air is an approved member of the Aircraft Suppliers Association.
Aggressive value-added programs help make Prime Air your number one supplier.
