-No longer will larger airports have no where to turn when selling their unused equipment
-Budget conscious operations staff now have a site they can use to find equipment they need at discounted prices
WASHINGTON, DC 4/30/2019-- Washington, DC based Airfield Surplus has launched their website targeted to airports and airfields around the United States and Internationally. Airfield Surplus allows operations managers to list their overstock items for sale for other airports to view items and buy at a significant discount off the OEM price. Airfield Surplus is now accepting free registrations and is encouraging signups to help build the community.
With the growing cost of airport operations, it is essential to acquire needed equipment at a discount when possible. Airfield Surplus allows smaller airfields the opportunity to buy stock from larger airports that are no longer using those replacement parts or technology. As the community grows, the ability to find active sellers for equipment will become easier. Buyers will have access to more listings as well.
With general surplus websites only being viewed by the public, airfield related equipment usually goes without bids and sits in a warehouse. Managers are stuck with pallets of items many times relegated to the scrap yard. Airfield Surplus was founded to create a community specifically for these items to bring buyers and sellers together and ensure that equipment doesn’t go to waste.

Fairbanks International Airport Baggage Transport Conveyor Enhanced With Mod Drive™ System
Airports face a host of unique industry challenges, such as meeting efficiency regulations and seeking out the best maintenance practices to reduce costs and keep operations flowing. In today’s current economic climate, any potential cost savings can go a long way.
In 2019, Alaska’s Fairbanks International Airport (FAI) sought to modernize its equipment and operations. They were dissatisfied with the performance of the gearmotors on their baggage transport conveyors and began searching for new suppliers. Regal approached FAI with a solution that could improve equipment performance and simplify maintenance, with the added benefit of energy cost savings: the Hub City® MOD Drive™ system.
