Tariffs Are Climbing. Is Your Sourcing Strategy Keeping Up?
New tariffs are squeezing aviation budgets.
The impact of these new tariffs is not a future concern; it is a current reality pressuring aviation budgets.
Many aviation organizations still rely heavily on a familiar network of default suppliers. While these long-standing relationships may provide a sense of security, they can also limit flexibility and lead to higher costs — especially in today’s shifting global trade environment.
With the introduction of new tariffs on foreign goods and materials, importing from certain countries is becoming significantly more expensive. This adds unforeseen costs to parts sourcing and threatens margins, especially for MROs and airlines operating on tight procurement budgets.
Suddenly, that trusted supplier abroad might no longer be the most cost-effective or timely option.

The SkySelect platform enables you to move beyond a limited supplier list and make smarter, more agile decisions. Instead of absorbing cost increases due to tariffs or shipping delays, you can:
- Compare global and local vendors in real time on price, availability, and lead time
- Diversify your supply base to protect against regulatory and trade disruptions
- Automate sourcing to reduce manual effort and quote turnaround time

As tariffs continue to reshape the global supply chain, the ability to quickly identify and switch to better suppliers—whether local or international—is not just an advantage; it’s a competitive edge that can distinguish your organization in these challenging times.
