About Us

Aerotek is a family run and owned business. It was started by Eric May in 1993 and has grown into the advanced aerospace engineering centre we have today.

Initially specialising, and taking command of the market, in the repair and overhaul of the Shorts twin prop fleet and other twin prop aircraft; today the company caters for 32 different aircraft fleets.

By popular demand for our expertise, Aerotek focused on supporting the Commuter Regional aircraft business. This business sector has allowed the company to grow consistently, even during the economic downturns in recent years. Aerotek is highly regarded in the repair and overhaul landing gear business and exports 70% of its products worldwide to places diverse as Italy, Seychelles, USA and the Caribbean.

Aerotek has a good working relationship with Bombardier Shorts through supporting the Belfast company’s product aircrafts including the Skyvan, the Shorts 330, 360 and the C23B. This has lead to Aerotek globally supporting these aircraft, in both militarily and civil operations. Furthermore, it has resulted in Aerotek securing a lucrative ten year government contract to overhaul all aircraft landing gears for these military aircraft.

Aerotek Aviation now repairs and overhauls landing gear for the Bombardier Hawk, Jaguar Dash 8, Fokker 27, Fokker 28, Fokker 50, Fokker 70, Fokker 100, Shorts 330, Shorts 360, Shorts C23B, Embraer 110, Embraer 120, and is also focusing on the BAe 146 Avro RJ. Our in house engineering skills and experience has allowed Aerotek to develop and become the major aviation wheel hub machining repair organisation in the UK, for all the Airbus, Boeing, BAe, Fokker, Honeywell, Goodrich and Embraer aircraft wheels.

Our mission is to ensure that we continually excel in the quality in everything we do. We want to develop long-term relationships with not only our customers but with all of the stakeholders within our business. We must therefore ensure that at all times we take the lead in our industry on quality, product and service reliability, technological change and cost effectiveness. This will always be underpinned by the constant desire to provide products and services that are delivered in a correct and timely manner. The Quality Policy has and always will be the underlying principle upon which the company is built and operates.

The environment and its protection is an important and vital objective to Aerotek Aviation and its employees. An environmental policy has always been the foremost priority in all of our daily actions, plans and processes. This will therefore impinge on the product design, product development, purchasing, manufacturing as well as the supply and disposal of any materials. A strong and vigorous proactive environmental stance is therefore an imbedded fundamental principle in all areas of operation within our organisation. We realise that taking a positive environmental stance assists our company to continued future success and long-term prosperity.
