Why Use Able's FAA-Approved Repairs?

Operating commercial aircraft is, to say the least, expensive. Equipment leases, fuel, maintenance and spares add up in a hurry. We'll agree that there's no hiding from the first three. Able believes, however, that there's a lot of profit getting tagged as scrap. As you've probably noticed, Able has gotten pretty good at resurrecting these unserviceable parts. Our repair efforts can work wonders on your bottom line.

The OEM would have you believe a fat spares budget is unavoidable; in fact they're banking on it. Able offers an alternate version of reality. Although you may not know it, our repairs are approved by the same FAA office that originally certifies your aircraft. With typical turn times under 21 days and costs which constitute a mere fraction of new, our repairs provide a proven way to keep your money in the bank and your aircraft in the air.

The table below illustrates some of the dramatic savings an operator can realize by using Able's approved repairs. These examples are only a small sample of the over 2,000 approved repairs.
