Absolute Aviation
By Staci Nelson, Executive Coordinator for the Inland Northwest Aerospace Consortium
T
he website tagline sums up Absolute Aviation’s focus succinctly, “Turning
‘Expendables’ into ‘Extendables’.” The Spokane-based MRO has established a
solid reputation for itself as a company that airlines and other MRO’s can count
on to repair electrical and electronic components that might otherwise be deemed
“unrepairable.”
