October 13, 2025

“TAG’s customer base is largely airlines and end users, as well as other traders and brokers.
Our Repair Station was awarded TOP SHOP in APU Overhaul four years running,
which speaks to the level of support TAG provides the industry worldwide,”

–Chap Barrier, VP Sales, TAG Aero (TAG)

TAG.Aero was founded in 2012, starting with an inventory of over 100 APUs.

Q: How did TAG become a leading third-party provider of APUs?

A: We became the go-to repair vendor for aviation operators, due to our ability to craft unbeatable outright, leasing, and exchange offers. From short-and long-term leasing to on-site spares, we offer tailored solutions to fit customer needs.

Q: Does TAG provide full APU repair and overhaul services?

A: Yes, complete APU MRO capabilities are embedded in the organization.

TAG offers comprehensive APU repair services for both aircraft APU and heavy-duty truck applications. Our repair service capabilities include preventive maintenance, component maintenance, overhaul services, and emergency APU maintenance.

Q: How do TAG Aero repair services save customers time and money?

A: The cost of APU repair starts with the parts. Customers typically save 20% on APU repair by relying on TAGAero’s in-house repair capabilities and inventory of APU parts (compared to purchasing new or used APUs). TAG offers unbeatable outright and exchange pricing on both complete APUs and APU spares.

Q: How can preventative MRO services reduce my overall APU maintenance costs and prevent on-wing failures?

Our maintenance service agreement programs include regular inspections of critical components like fuel system, compressor impeller, and APU systems to identify potential issues before they cause operational downtime.

As a trusted third-party provider, we offer flat rate pricing that makes maintenance cost predictable and manageable. Regular preventive maintenance can reduce emergency repair costs by up to 40% while extending life limited parts (LLP) lifecycles. Our quality service includes shop visit scheduling, component maintenance tracking, and replacement parts inventory management to ensure your auxiliary power unit operates at peak efficiency. This proactive approach helps operators avoid unexpected equipment failures and maintain optimal fleet availability.

Q: Does TAG Lease APU to operators?

A: Yes, our APU portfolio allows us to support operators with flexible and cost-effective leasing options ranging from 1 month to 5 years.

While a customer’s APU is being repaired in our facility, we provide seamless and cost-effective solutions, from leasing to spares.

Q: Can I sell my APU to TAG?

A: Yes, if you’re selling, we’re buying! TAG purchases more APUs than any other independent company. In fact, our trading practices ensure piece part availability for our MRO customers.

TAG offers unbeatable outright and exchange pricing on both complete APUs and APU spares.

Q: Looking to Avoid APU overhaul downtime?

A: TAG offers flat-rate exchanges for every aircraft application.

Q: What is TAG’s typical turnaround time?

Our standard turnaround time varies by service type: routine APU maintenance typically takes 5-10 business days, while complex overhaul services range from 15-30 days. We offer guaranteed turn around times with discounted flat rate pricing for specific models including A320 Family (GTCP131-9A), B737NG/MAX (GTCP131-9B), B757/B767 (GTCP331-200ER), and B787 Classic (GTCP85 Series).

Our satellite location network and three state-of-the-art test cells ensure peak efficiency and minimize downtime for your fleet operations.
