Compliance
Supporting ethical business conduct, regulatory compliance and responsible aircraft component supply worldwide.
Windaero — Governance
Compliance, ethics and responsible business conduct are integral to how Windaero operates across the international aviation aftermarket. As a supplier of aircraft parts and components to airlines, MRO organizations and OEMs worldwide, we maintain a documented compliance framework that reflects the standards our industry expects and that our customers and partners rely on.
Our commitment
Windaero is committed to conducting its business with integrity, transparency and full compliance with the laws and regulations applicable in every jurisdiction in which it operates. This commitment runs through how we source and trace parts, how we select and manage suppliers, and how we conduct our commercial relationships with airlines, MRO organizations and OEMs.

Built into the business
Compliance at Windaero is not a function that sits apart from the business of trading aircraft parts — it is built into how that business operates. Every transaction involves supplier qualification, documentation review and traceability verification before a part moves from one operator to another.
Export control and sanctions considerations are assessed as part of the same process, alongside the quality and airworthiness documentation our customers depend on. A part's value depends on the completeness of its history as much as its physical condition, and the same discipline that supports traceability and quality also supports our compliance obligations as an aircraft component supplier.
Compliance in aircraft parts trading
Business partners
Windaero expects the suppliers, subcontractors and business partners it works with to uphold standards of ethical conduct and regulatory compliance comparable to its own. This expectation applies across our supply chain, from the aviation parts suppliers we source from to the intermediaries and service providers who support our operations.
Business partners are expected to conduct their own operations with integrity, to comply with applicable law, and to cooperate with the due diligence and documentation requirements that are a standard part of doing business with Windaero.
What we expect of our supply chain
Due diligence
Windaero conducts due diligence on the suppliers, customers, intermediaries and business partners it engages with, applying a level of scrutiny appropriate to the nature of the relationship and the risk it presents.
This due diligence forms part of our standard approach to onboarding and managing business relationships across our international operations, applied consistently regardless of the size or location of the counterparty involved.
Risk-based, applied consistently
Continuous improvement
Windaero's compliance framework is reviewed periodically and updated to reflect changes in applicable law, regulatory expectations and industry practice.
As the international aviation aftermarket evolves, we expect our compliance framework to evolve alongside it — treated as an ongoing responsibility rather than a one-time exercise.
A framework that keeps pace with the industry
