The Story Behind
World Class Aviation
Three decades of persistence, growth, and expertise have shaped us into a uniquely capable aviation partner — one that can source it, fix it, or build it from scratch.
From One Company to
an Aviation Ecosystem
It started simply enough. In 1988, World Class Aviation opened its doors in Peachtree City, Georgia — a single company with a focused purpose: connect aircraft operators with the parts they needed, faster and more reliably than anyone else.
What nobody anticipated was how deep that purpose would take us. As the company grew, so did the gaps we saw in the market. Legacy aircraft were aging out of OEM support. Repair costs were spiraling. Critical components were becoming impossible to source. Rather than referring customers elsewhere, we built the capability in-house.
First came World Class Accessory, Inc. — our FAA and EASA 145 certified repair station. Then came ANB Aviation Parts, LLC — our PMA manufacturing arm, created to reverse-engineer and certify parts that had ceased to exist in the market.
Today we operate as three distinct companies under one strategic roof, each reinforcing the others — with a 36-year track record spanning acquisitions, exclusive distributor agreements, intellectual property rights, and a global customer base.
"We didn't set out to build three companies. We set out to solve every problem our customers brought us — and that's exactly what we did."
Three Specialists. Zero Gaps.
Every company in our family was born from a real market need. Together they form the most complete aviation parts and services solution we know of.
The original company and the commercial engine of the group — one of the industry's deepest independent parts inventories with the logistics infrastructure to move parts anywhere, same day if needed.

The Faces of World Class
Our team doesn't just process orders — they understand aircraft, operators, and the real-world pressures that come with keeping a fleet airworthy.
With over three decades leading World Class Aviation, Mark has guided the company from a single parts supplier to a three-company aviation operation. His vision for vertical integration defines what WCA is today.
Rene is the person operators call when standard sourcing channels have failed them. His knowledge of legacy aircraft platforms makes him uniquely effective at locating hard-to-find components under time pressure.
Roderick brings hands-on technical fluency to every customer conversation — bridging the gap between parts procurement and maintenance operations to identify what will actually solve the problem.
Bruce manages some of WCA's most complex customer relationships, building custom inventory programs that reduce sourcing burden and make sure the right parts are where they need to be before the aircraft needs them.
Not Just a Parts Broker.
Most suppliers can find you a part. Very few can repair it, manufacture it, and ship it same-day from a single location. We can.
Parts sales, certified repair, and PMA manufacturing at one address. One call solves what would take three vendors elsewhere.
AOG situations don't wait for business hours. Our team and stock are available around the clock near ATL for faster dispatch.
When OEM support has ended, we're just getting started. Metro, Merlin, Embraer 120, Beech — platforms others have abandoned are core to our business.
PMA parts at 40–60% below OEM. Repairs at roughly half OEM cost. These are validated by years of customer outcomes.
Our most valuable customers have been with us for years. We invest in understanding your fleet, schedule, and sourcing patterns.
FAA and EASA 145 certified. PMA-approved manufacturer. Known shipper. HAZMAT certified. Every credential your operators and regulators require.
Certified. Authorized. Trusted.
Every certification we hold represents a standard we were held to — and passed.
Four Principles. No Exceptions.
An aircraft on the ground is revenue loss and schedule disruption. We treat every AOG with the urgency it deserves.
Every part traceable. Every repair documented. Every PMA part FAA-approved. We don't cut corners.
PMA savings, repair alternatives, consignment programs — we engineer value into every engagement.
The difference between a vendor and a partner is whether they know your fleet. We do.
