Sentry Aerospares acquired AirStart Inc., a Canadian leader in rotable aircraft components for regional platforms, adding Toronto as a new operational hub. The deal, announced 7 July 2026 in Watford and Toronto, expands Sentry’s inventory of tagged rotable parts and broadens its customer base in Canada. AirStart’s founders Robert Wills and Anne Vinet will continue leading the business under Sentry’s ownership. The acquisition strengthens Sentry’s 24/7 Aircraft-on-Ground (AOG) support network, critical for airlines facing urgent maintenance. It reflects the sector’s trend toward consolidation to deliver one-stop supply solutions for operators and MRO providers. Sentry, backed by Acorn Capital Management, advances its strategic goal of building a global aviation aftermarket platform through targeted acquisitions.
