COMMERCE, California, Feb. 19, 2026 – FDH Aero (“FDH”), a global provider of supply chain solutions for the aerospace and defense industry, announced that PDQ Airspares, a brand of FDH Hardware, received the 2025 Excellence in Aviation Consumables Award from partner Aeroplex of Central Europe, a major independent Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) provider based at the Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport in Hungary.
The award was bestowed as part of the inaugural Aeroplex Partner Awards in Budapest. While Aeroplex collaborates with many suppliers, PDQ Airspares was one of a select group recognized for having a visible and meaningful impact on Aeroplex’s progress over the past year. Specifically, PDQ was named in the logistics category for providing flexible, high-standard consumables support, ensuring the MRO provider maintained operational readiness across its base and line maintenance networks.
“We are honored to be recognized by Aeroplex as a top partner in their inaugural Aeroplex Partner Awards program,” said Paul Rice, Managing Director of PDQ Airspares. “Consumables management is one of the most complex parts of the supply chain due to the sheer volume of part numbers. I am so proud of how this award recognizes our Regional Sales Manager, Alena Khudalei, and the full PDQ team for their flexibility and high standards in going beyond parts supply and simplifying the logistics that keep the MRO lines moving.”
PDQ was recognized amongst other industry leaders, each honored for their respective contributions to Aeroplex’s MRO ecosystem. This collective recognition reflects Aeroplex’s belief that every link in the supply chain, from logistics to line maintenance, plays a decisive role in enabling the MRO to deliver safe, efficient and high-quality services.
Earning this distinction reinforces PDQ’s standing as a top-tier distributor of aerospace consumables.
