Not unlike most companies in the world of global aviation, Thrust Tech Accessories was stunned by the sudden storm of change that hit the industry in 2020. Due to the pressures brought upon by the COVID-19 pandemic, almost overnight, the historic focal point of the industry went from heavy commercial carriers to cargo, regional aircraft, and bizjets.<\/p>\n

Initially, given the immediate global economic shut down and severely limited operations industry-wide, TTA and others in the aviation accessory component & overhaul\/repair sector had to weather through on their own as demand for repairs and service dropped significantly.<\/p>\n

Simply stated, \u201cWhen the aircraft do not fly, we cannot perform as much repair activity as we should,\u201d says Stanley Kowlessar, Sr., TTA\u2019s President and General Manager.<\/p>\n

Historic Shift
\n<\/strong>But when the dust settled, this FAA-certified, Part 145 repair station based near Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport, got its bearings \u2013 and realized it had landed on the favorable side<\/a> of this historic shift in the business.<\/p>\n

\u201cWeathering the storm \u2013 and continually servicing all types of aviation clients and doing everything possible to provide skilled resources for them \u2013 is a skill set that Thrust Tech has successfully honed during its 30-plus years of experience. In fact, the ability to turn on a dime and react to the emerging demands of the industry has long been our ace in the hole,\u201d says Kowlessar.<\/p>\n

By the numbers, in 2020, he reports that Thrust Tech serviced more than 270 customers with parts, MRO services, and exchanges, which in turn helped the company to infuse various economies via the purchase of parts and services from more than 100 suppliers around the globe. The family business has also pivoted quickly to meet market needs, such as recently receiving FAA approval for its all-new emergency battery<\/a> solution that it\u2019s now offering to clients.<\/p>\n

The Long Haul
\n<\/strong>Another plus? Consolidations within the aviation industry in 2020 have had the positive impact of helping Thrust Tech increase its talent pool. \u201cThat\u2019s important, as we are committed for the long haul and for building a legacy,\u201d he added. Without question, many of TTA\u2019s customers suffered from the severity of the industry changes that drove significant cost-cutting measures \u2013 such as massive job cuts, slashed investments, and reduced purchasing<\/p>\n

Kowlessar notes, however, \u201cOur company mission throughout 2021 will be to continue doing everything possible to provide the full range of required services for our aviation clients, while maintaining the highest quality standards \u2013 all at competitive prices.\u201d<\/p>\n

Culture of Success
\n<\/strong>One factor that\u2019s helped Thrust Tech successfully navigate through 2020 and to create a path for 2021 is the company\u2019s corporate culture, which Kowlessar describes as \u201cteam-focused, nimble, and quick-to-pivot. When combined, these qualities allow us to meet market conditions and creative approaches to assist customers who are finding their own operation financially challenged right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

As always, Thrust Tech will adapt to the marketplace. \u201cPutting customers first while taking care of our number-one asset, our team, will help all of us to navigate through these challenging times as we look to 2021 with optimism.\u201d<\/p>\n
