Our Mission

Our mission is to make the aviation procurement process efficient and effective for our members and suppliers by focusing on strong partnerships and collective benefits.

The CSP Model

CSP negotiates agreements with an extensive list of suppliers in order to guarantee a wide range of benefits to our members. Our members have access to the full list of our suppliers/partners and can choose which contracts to utilize. Our contracted suppliers equally have access to reputable members.

The procurement is done directly between the Member and Supplier. This way Members enjoy benefits from the framework agreements and improved Terms & Conditions while also enjoying Volume Related Discounts where applicable. Meanwhile, Suppliers save time on negotiations and enjoy faster product turnaround.

Members can be companies that operate and manage aircrafts ranging from General Aviation to Business Aviation, small & medium-sized Jets, corporate, owner operated, and MRO companies.
