We unlock US aviation market access through FAA certification expertise, airline and operator relationships, and the MRO channels European companies can’t build alone.
Your aviation component, safety system, or MRO technology is certified in Europe. You’ve established a US presence, perhaps secured initial partnerships. But converting European approvals into American revenue feels impossible.
The US aviation market isn’t just technically demanding — it’s certification-gated and relationship-intensive in ways European companies underestimate:
We see these channels because we’ve built them. Certification strategy and operator relationships have to move together — a certified product nobody champions sits on the shelf, and a championed product without its FAA paperwork can’t fly.
Navigation of STC, PMA, and TSO processes and of the EASA–FAA bilateral — certification planning that shortens market entry by 12 to 24 months.
Relationships with MRO providers, Part 145 repair stations, and airline technical operations — the channel European aftermarket companies most need and least have.
Introductions at fleet-technical and safety-management level, where adoption decisions for safety and compliance products are actually made.
The safety-management, quality, and documentation expectations of US operators and the FAA — aligned with what you already run in Europe rather than rebuilt from zero.
We map which FAA route fits your product — STC, PMA, TSO, or bilateral validation — and which operators and MROs align with it. Aviation runs on multi-year cycles; the wrong path costs years, not months.
Certification planning and operator introductions move together, so approvals and demand land at the same time — compressing the sequence that usually runs end-to-end.
We position European aviation technology for fleet programs and MRO-network standards, not one-off installs. One operator’s adoption becomes the reference the rest of the market asks about.
Not automatically. Under the US–EU bilateral aviation safety agreement, EASA approvals can be validated by the FAA — but the scope and effort depend on the product category. Some validations are streamlined; others approach a fresh certification. Establishing which applies to you is the first step.
It depends on what you make. Broadly: modifications to aircraft go the STC route, replacement parts go PMA, and defined categories of equipment go TSO. Many products involve more than one. Choosing the route before investing is most of the battle.
Through Part 145 repair stations, MRO providers, and airline technical operations — and those are relationship channels, not catalogs. A distribution or repair partnership with one credible US player typically matters more than broad listing.
Certification commonly runs 2 to 5 years depending on route and product — but commercial groundwork runs in parallel: operator relationships, MRO partnerships, and validation planning can compress the end-to-end timeline by a year or more when started early.
If your aviation technology is certified at home and underrealized here — we should have a conversation.
Traksjon assesses fit before committing. The conversation is the first step, not the commitment.
