Your Comprehensive Aircraft Parts and Engine Maintenance Solution

Aircraft engines do not last the entire life of the aircraft. Over the course of the plane’s life, the engine is generally rebuilt two to three times before being removed from service. This happens around 12,000 flight cycles for the first rebuild, then 8,000 for the second and only 4,000 before the final rebuild. These cycles will vary based on the type of aircraft and its engine. Some companies prefer to replace the engine instead of rebuilding it repeatedly. Cycles are calculated following an engine start, takeoff and landing. Engine maintenance is often calculated based on this process.

In March 2024, Unical Aviation unveiled its latest project, Unical Engines, a specialized engine division headquartered in Miramar, Florida. This strategic expansion aligns with the company’s ongoing growth path.

At the helm of Unical Engines is a team of industry veterans, strengthened by a dedicated team comprising engine asset managers, seasoned engine repair administrators, engine technical experts, and data analysts. This robust leadership and support team is the driving force behind Unical Engines’ ambitious first-year target of $100 million in revenue—a goal that is well within reach, judging by the current year-over-year progress.

Marking a significant achievement in its nascent stage, Unical Engines has rapidly acquired 18 engines, a testament to the organization’s dynamic capabilities. This acquisition spree has not only set a new benchmark for the company, but also ensured a steady supply of premium materials for the engine sales division, thereby enhancing service delivery to a global clientele.

Engine maintenance includes refurbishing and overhauling. The better the maintenance routines you follow, the longer your engine will likely last, making it worth the investment. Engines undergo serious wear from vibrations in the rotating mechanisms as well as the constant changes in climates.

This process involves removing and dismantling the engine. It requires deep expertise that few aircraft mechanics possess. Unical offers a unique team equipped to handle this intricate process.
With two FAA and EASA certified repair stations, Unical Aviation makes engine maintenance simple so you fulfill it when you should for better long-term results.

Overhauling an engine generally costs about two-thirds what a new engine would cost, making it an attractive cost-savings option.

Unical Aviation strives for excellence in everything. Whether it’s a quick phone call to help you locate a unique part or completing an aircraft engine repair, you can trust that you’ll experience the same quality workmanship and commitment to serving you fully and completely. Over the years, the company has grown its expertise through acquisitions and expansion. For example, in October 2022, Unical acquired CAVU’s component repair operations, which included an 80,000 square foot state-of-the-art facility for aircraft component repair.

Unical has the following certifications.

• FAA
• EASA
• ASA
