DASI & BAE Systems Announce Strategic Agreement to Expand Global Reach of Commercial Aircraft Electronics

The companies will strengthen the availability of critical aircraft components through a three-year distribution collaboration

MIAMI, FL, UNITED STATES, April 10, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- DASI, a leading provider of aircraft inventory solutions, has entered into a strategic agreement with BAE Systems, a leading aerospace and defense technology company, to enhance the distribution of commercial aircraft electronics for Boeing and Airbus platforms. Under this initial three-year agreement, BAE Systems will supply over 3,000 individual part numbers to DASI’s extensive global customer base, significantly expanding accessibility and support for airline operators and MROs worldwide.

Expanding Market Reach and Customer Access

This agreement is driven by BAE Systems’ strategic objective to broaden its market reach. By leveraging DASI’s expansive network, the company aims to provide increased availability of its high-quality electronics to a wider audience.

“DASI’s extensive reach and commitment to excellence make them ideal for expanding our presence in the commercial aviation aftermarket,” said Andrea Davis, senior director for customer support and services at BAE Systems. “Through this collaboration, we will not only support newer platforms but also provide solutions for aging aircraft, ensuring continued operational efficiency for customers worldwide.”

Global Shipping and Logistics

BAE Systems will supply products directly from its production facility in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Additionally, it will leverage its global warehousing network across the United Kingdom, Singapore, Dubai, and Shanghai to ensure rapid and efficient product availability to customers around the world.

Unlocking the Value of Hard-to-Find Legacy Components

Beyond expanding its core product distribution, BAE Systems also sees this agreement as an opportunity to highlight its substantial inventory of hard-to-find legacy components. These products play a crucial role in supporting aging aircraft, which remain essential to many airlines’ operational fleets.

Mike Heaton, President of DASI, expressed his enthusiasm about the collaboration: “We are thrilled to join forces with BAE Systems to provide our customers with greater access to high-quality aircraft electronics. This collaboration aligns perfectly with our mission to streamline aviation supply chains and ensure critical components are available when and where they are needed.”
