Mission equipment provider Dart Aerospace has acquired aircraft equipment manufacturer Paravion Technology and its MRO operation, Century Helicopters, in a deal that will expand Dart’s product offerings and STCs to more than 1,500. Montreal-based Dart didn’t disclose the financial terms of the transaction with Fort Collins, Colorado-based Paravion, which holds nearly 70 FAA certifications and more than 200 foreign validations that include EASA, Transport Canada, and FAA parts manufacturer approval for replacement parts.
