Aviation Traders Limited (ATL), formally Britavia, has been established since 1947. Located near Bournemouth Airfield, the company has built a large global repertoire of clients, carrying out a myriad of design and certification services for some of the world’s leading airlines, aircraft lease companies, overseas military operational entities and maintenance organisations.

In October 2019 ATL Europe (ATLs Subsiduary Company in France) was granted their EASA DOA EASA.21J.740. This has mitigated any effects that Brexit would bring, ATL Europe also means that all ATLs STCs are safe!
