Upgrading your aircraft's cockpit shouldn’t feel like a major headache. Between navigating complex certifications and dealing with unexpected downtime, keeping a fleet modern takes a lot of effort. That is where great partners come in.
In this week’s Dealer Spotlight, we are excited to feature Avmax—an authorized Universal Avionics dealer who recently reached an incredible milestone of their own: 50 years in aviation! For five decades, Avmax has been taking the stress out of aircraft maintenance, and today, our partnership helps make modernizing your flight deck as smooth and straightforward as possible.
Avmax started in 1976 in Calgary, Alberta, and has grown into one of the largest and most trusted names in global aviation support. Their philosophy is simple: "From nose to tail and everything in between, we take on the work, so you don't have to."
Whether you operate a single aircraft or manage a regional fleet, Avmax provides a true one-stop shop with team members and facilities around the world—including major hubs in Calgary, Great Falls, Jacksonville, and Nairobi.
They handle a wide range of services, providing full-service maintenance and repairs to keep regional jets and corporate aircraft in peak flying conditions. Their in-house engineering team designs and certifies custom installation packages, so upgrades are ready to go out of the box, while their avionics division specializes in custom wiring, instrument care, and fast-turnaround flight deck installs. To round out their end-to-end support, Avmax also offers global parts distribution and aircraft leasing, giving operators quick access to spare hardware worldwide to prevent costly AOG delays.
One of the most challenging parts of upgrading older avionics is getting the right regulatory approvals and certifications. It can take months of paperwork before a technician ever touches a wire.
Avmax speeds up that process for Universal Avionics customers by doing the heavy lifting beforehand. Their engineering team develops pre-approved installation packages (STCs) designed specifically for Universal equipment.
That means faster, hassle-free upgrades for some of our most popular systems:
Avmax specializes in efficiently getting your personnel and equipment to their destinations with precision, safety, and the utmost comfort. With Avmax, you're in control of your schedule, in-flight services, catering, and cargo needs.
When you pair Universal’s flight deck solutions with Avmax’s hands-on expertise, you get a smoother experience from start to finish:
Whether you are looking to replace aging instruments, meet new airspace standards, or simply make your flight deck easier to fly, working with an experienced dealer makes all the difference.
