What Is an RFQ for Aircraft Parts?
RFQ means Request for Quote.
Sourcing aircraft parts is not always straightforward, especially when pricing, stock availability, or minimum order quantities need further confirmation. AEROTRADE’s RFQ (Request for Quote) feature makes the process easier by allowing buyers to submit quotation requests directly through the marketplace instead of contacting suppliers separately. Sellers can then respond based on quantity, availability, and transaction requirements, helping both sides move from enquiry to purchase more efficiently.
When Should Buyers Use RFQ?
Use RFQ when a part needs additional pricing or stock information.
