Satair, an Airbus company, has completed its acquisition of Unical Aviation Inc. and its subsidiary ecube, as announced on May 11, 2026, from Copenhagen, Denmark.
The deal, first agreed upon in November 2025, integrates Unical’s global supply of used serviceable material (USM) aircraft parts and ecube’s aircraft storage, disassembly, and transition services. Unical and ecube together reported $298 million in revenue for 2024 and employed over 400 people across seven sites in North America, Spain, and the United Kingdom.
Platinum Equity, which acquired Unical in 2021, oversaw a modernization effort that upgraded technology, leadership, inventory, and services before the sale. The transaction expands Satair’s USM operations and aircraft lifecycle management, combining Unical’s distribution network and ecube’s capabilities with Satair’s existing expertise through VAS Aero Services.
Regulatory approvals were secured, allowing closure shortly after the expected early 2026 timeline. Unical, founded in 1990 and based in Glendale, Arizona, serves thousands of aviation customers worldwide.
