Trade-Air Airline Support Ltd.

The Merlin Centre, County Oak Way Crawley (Nr. Gatwick)

United Kingdom

Trade-Air was founded in 1979. The mandate for the company is simple; to give the operator of a VIP aircraft a complete support program which, in turn, gives total peace of mind.

Having worked with companies such as Lloyds International, Caledonian Airways and Dan Air, the founder, Nigel Webb, was the flight engineer for the Ford Motor Company flight department, operating a Gulfstream GII, Hawker 125, and, later, the VIP BAC 1-11. It was while operating these aircraft Nigel realised that, while there was a great deal of support for airline operations, there was no dedicated support for the VIP/Corporate operator so Trade-Air was born.

Since its inception, the primary concern of Trade-Air has been safety. Together with the supply of the best spares available, Trade-Air will, wherever possible, always offer clients zero time overhauled units over repaired parts.
