For airlines and MROs

Sell or consign your surplus aircraft parts What's sitting on your shelves actually worth?

Nobody knows. Not you, not your CFO, and definitely not the balance sheet.

Walk to the back of stores. There's a rack of as-removed units with tags from three years ago, and a pallet of expendables nobody's counted since the last audit.

None of it breaks, so nobody calls about it. It loses value every quarter, on shelf space you're paying for, holding cash that should be working.

Selling it means quoting, repairing, packing, shipping, invoicing, and chasing buyers who pay late. We do this for a living, and it's still a full-time job. Your team already has one, so it waits another quarter.

Skylink buys surplus and excess aircraft parts outright, or sells them for you on consignment. We take rotables, landing gear, APUs, avionics, interiors, and expendables, whether they're unserviceable, repaired, or new surplus.

If you're retiring an aircraft, the clock runs faster. Removed parts are worth the most before the teardown finishes. We manage the teardown, the logistics of every removed component, and the distribution.

Your free game plan, in 3 business days

  1. Send us your surplus list. Partial is fine, and a spreadsheet or a system export works. For a retiring aircraft, send the list of components being removed.
  2. We run it against real demand. We use our own quotes, sales, and market history, not a price guide.
  3. You get your game plan. It shows what sells near term, what the whole lot could be worth, what we'd decline, and how we'd sell or liquidate it. It's one document you can hand to whoever signs off.

No obligation. If you want an NDA first, we sign it before we open your list.

Built for airlines and MROs with a real lot to move. If you're a distributor or stockist with a few lines to sell, our sales team handles those.

This is where your surplus aircraft parts would live.

Your parts sit in our own warehouse: secured around the clock, climate controlled, and on camera.

How do you want to get paid for your surplus aircraft parts?

One check now, or paid as each part sells. Your game plan tells you which one fits.

Surplus Inventory Purchase

"I want one payment, and I want it gone."

We buy documented, traceable material, whether it's unserviceable, repaired, new surplus, or new. We restock for our own clients and contracts every week, so we're a real buyer. One transaction, one payment, and it's off your books.

The catch: you'll get depreciated fair market value. That's the price of walking away with one check.

Best if you need the cash now and the shelf space back.

Surplus Inventory Consignment

"I want the best return. I don't want the project."

Your material ships to our warehouse under your own code. It stays yours until each part sells at market price. We store it, list it, market it, repair what needs a tag, chase the buyers, and carry the credit risk. You get paid for every part sold.

What you give up is speed. The money arrives as parts sell, not all at once.

Best if the lot is worth more than a one-check price, and you can wait for it.

End-of-Service Aircraft Teardown

"I've got an aircraft coming out of service."

We manage the teardown, the logistics of every removed component, and the distribution. Then you pick a path for what comes off: one check, or consignment.

Send us the list of components being removed before the teardown finishes. That's when those parts are worth the most.

Best if the aircraft is out of service and the teardown hasn't finished yet.

Why consign your surplus aircraft parts with Skylink.

Your parts jump the line.

On any part number we take, yours sells before our own stock. We write it into the agreement.

We sell it two ways at once.

Every line goes on the market databases every night. Then we go find the operators who need it, for stock, exchanges, and the repair programs we run. Your part reaches the buyers who search and the buyers who don't.

As-removed doesn't mean unsellable.

We run as-removed units through our repair chain so they sell tagged. A shop visit is the difference between core value and serviceable value. The repair cost comes out of the sale, not your budget.

You see everything, every month.

You get a monthly report: parts sold, active inquiries, market trends, and what's left on the shelf. You can check your inventory through the portal, or walk our floor and audit it in person, any time.

We tell you what won't sell.

The game plan names what we'd decline, like wrong-fleet lines and the no-demand tail, in writing. Carrying dead lines would pad our count, not your recovery.

Hardware and expendables hold their edge.

OEM catalog prices go up every year. Surplus hardware and expendables priced under the catalog keep their edge, and the edge grows with every price increase. Shelf-life items are the exception.

What a forgotten shelf is worth.

One of our consignment clients had surplus sitting in their stores. Everybody knew it was worth something. Nobody had time to sell it.

So they consigned it to us. We listed it, pushed it, and kept pushing it to the operators who needed those parts.

That shelf has turned into millions of dollars in sales. All of it was money they'd been sitting on.

There was no clever trick. It was daily work, the kind nobody on their team had time for.

Millions
in sales from one client's idle shelf

Send us the list. We'll tell you what it's worth.

If it's documented and traceable, send it. Regional, commercial, or military, from one shelf or a whole aircraft.

Selling surplus aircraft parts: questions owners ask.

How do I sell surplus aircraft parts?

Send us your surplus list. A spreadsheet or a system export works, and a partial list is fine. We run it against our own quotes, sales, and market history. In 3 business days, you get a free game plan: what sells near term, what the whole lot could be worth, what we'd decline, and how we'd sell it. Then you choose: sell it to us outright, consign it, or do nothing.

Where can I sell surplus aircraft parts?

We buy them. We buy documented, traceable material every week to restock for our own clients and contracts. On consignment, we list your parts on the market databases every night, and we go out and match them with operators who need them for stock, exchanges, and repairs.

What is aircraft parts consignment?

You ship your surplus to our warehouse, and it stays yours. We store it, list it, market it, repair what needs a tag, and sell it. You get paid for every part sold, whether the buyer pays us or not. Title never passes to Skylink. It goes from you to the buyer when each part sells.

Should I sell my surplus outright or consign it?

Sell outright if you want one payment and the lot gone. You'll get depreciated fair market value. Consign if you want the best return and can wait for it, because the money comes in as parts sell. Your game plan tells you which one fits your lot, and sometimes the answer is one check.

Do you buy unserviceable or as-removed aircraft parts?

Yes, if they're documented and traceable. We buy unserviceable, repaired, new surplus, and new material. On consignment, we run as-removed units through our repair chain so they sell tagged, at serviceable value instead of core value. The repair cost comes out of the sale, not your budget.

Can you handle an aircraft teardown or part-out?

Yes. We manage the teardown, the logistics of every removed component, and the distribution. Send us the list of components being removed, and the game plan covers them like any other lot. Send it early. Removed parts are worth the most before the teardown finishes.

Will you sell your own stock ahead of mine?

No. We don't take a part number we'd compete with, so on the lines we accept, yours is the one we sell. And the agreement puts your parts ahead of our own stock, in writing.

How will I know what sold?

You get a monthly report: parts sold, active inquiries, market trends, and what's left on the shelf. You can check your inventory through the portal, or walk our floor and audit it in person, any time.

How fast will my surplus aircraft parts sell?

Honest answer: we don't promise a date, and you should be suspicious of anyone who does. Consignment is best-efforts against real demand. That's why the game plan shows you the near-term sellable value first: the share of your lot with live demand behind it today.

How do I know you won't shop my list around?

Ask for the NDA, and we sign it before your list is opened. Not after we've had a look. Before. And honestly, we don't have the time to shop your list around, and we don't want that job. We're not here to flip your list or post it where it doesn't belong. We put each part where the real demand is.

What does the game plan cost?

Nothing. It's how we prove we can do the work before we ask you to commit to anything. If the numbers don't earn the next conversation, keep the document and our thanks for the look.

What if my list is incomplete or messy?

Send it anyway. A partial list is workable. We'll tell you where the gaps are and how they widen the value range. Perfect data is not a requirement. A list is.
