“As the general aviation fleet matures, the continued availability and support of legacy platforms remain a vital priority,” said Mike Polanis, President, McFarlane. “Bringing the South Seas Ventures competed FAA-PMA product line into our system ensures these essential products remain available for years to come. We’re proud to expand our ability to serve customers who rely on these aircraft.”

We’re confident that our customers will benefit greatly from McFarlane’s manufacturing capabilities, distribution network, and technical expertise.”
McFarlane plans a seamless integration of the South Seas inventory into its existing distribution operations, with no interruption in customer access.
