How the Company Makes MoneyHeico generates revenue primarily through the sale of its aerospace parts and electronic components, as well as through repair and maintenance services. The Flight Support Group, which is a major revenue driver, earns income by providing replacement parts and services to airlines and military organizations, often at a lower cost than original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). The Electronic Technologies Group generates revenue by selling high-performance electronic components to customers across various sectors including military, commercial aviation, and industrial markets. Significant partnerships with OEMs and defense contractors enhance Heico's market position and contribute to its revenue streams. Additionally, the company benefits from long-term contracts and a growing demand for aftermarket services, which are more profitable than initial equipment sales.
