Boeing Distribution signs 10-year global deal with Survival Products to expand aviation safety equipment access

• Boeing Distribution has signed a 10-year global exclusive agreement with Survival Products, a First Class Air company, to expand worldwide access to FAA-approved aviation safety equipment.

• The partnership strengthens Boeing’s global logistics and aftermarket distribution network, enabling faster delivery of life vests and life rafts to airlines and MRO providers while improving operational efficiency and supply chain performance.

The agreement expands Boeing Distribution’s portfolio of certified safety equipment, adding Survival Products’ compact, lightweight life rafts and life vests designed for performance, reliability, and operational efficiency to its global offering for operators and maintenance organisations.

Through the partnership, Survival Products’ FAA-approved TSO-C13g life vests and TSO-C70a/C70bType I and II life rafts will be available through Boeing Distribution’s global channels, including its 24/7 e-commerce platform, providing operators with faster, more reliable access to critical safety equipment.

The agreement combines Survival Products’ in-house manufacturing and repair capabilities with Boeing Distribution’s global logistics network. Together, this enables reduced turnaround times, lower total cost of ownership, and improved operational readiness across fleets.

“This long-term partnership strengthens our ability to provide high-quality, certified life-saving systems with the logistical reach and aftermarket support customers expect,” said Travis Sullivan, vice president and general manager, Boeing Distribution. “By integrating Survival Products into our global distribution network, we’re able to better serve operators with reliable access to critical safety equipment when and where they need it.”

Founded in 1970, Survival Products is a long-standing manufacturer of aviation survival equipment and became part of First Class Air in 2022. As an integrated platform of specialised aviation aftermarket companies, First Class Air delivers distribution, MRO and DER repair, PMA manufacturing, aircraft teardown, and supply chain solutions to customers worldwide.
