Sun Air was started in 1970 in Sun Valley, California. Sun Air was incorporated on June 5, 1972.
The company specializes in the supply of Pratt & Whitney Piston Engine Parts, tools, and accessories. United Aircraft of Canada, Pratt & Whitney Division, decided to stop the support of their old Piston Engines in the early 1970’s. Many small regional Airlines and most foreign Airlines still operated DC-3, DC-4, and DC-6 Aircraft with the old P & W Engines as power plants. Also, many Air Forces, including the USAF, still had equipment with these engines, so there was still a large market for spare parts, tools, and engines.
In 1990, the company moved to a brand new 20,000 sq ft facility in Valencia, CA. For the past 20 years Sun Air has concentrated on manufacturing Pratt & Whitney Engine parts under F.A.A. P.M.A. approvals. We are now the largest supplier of Pratt & Whitney piston engine parts in the world.
The company also has stock of over 40 overhauled engines ready to go! We have over 100 “core” engines, of various sizes. We have an engine exchange program and deal with all the major F.A.A. Overhaul Facilities in the United States.
In 2007, we purchased the inventory of J.T. Luckey Company of Texas. The inventory was mainly P & W Parts.
Our customers include all FAA Approved Engine Overhaul Shops in the U.S. and worldwide. They also include USAF, Hellenic Air Force, Australian Air Force, South African Air Force, Government of Canada, USMC, Fire Bombers, and Crop Dusters world wide as well as many other Parts Suppliers, Brokers, Aircraft Owners, Operators, Regional Airlines, and a hand full of Major Airlines.
