TabAir for Buyers
Source aviation parts with a clear process.
TabAir is a Singapore-registered B2B aviation-parts marketplace. As a buyer you can browse participant listings or submit a sourcing requirement, then continue through structured messages, quotes, fees, and shipments — instead of chasing scattered email threads.
The reality
The problem with informal aviation sourcing
When you need a part, speed matters — but so does clarity. Informal WhatsApp and email chains make it hard to track who said what, what documents were shared, and where the deal stands. TabAir gives buyers a structured path from enquiry to delivery status.
Fragmented conversations
Quotes, questions, and document requests often live across inboxes and phones. That creates delay and risk when you need a clean record.
Unclear next steps
Without a shared workflow, it is easy to lose track of fee status, product payment, address capture, and shipment updates.
Hard to scale procurement
As enquiry volume grows, teams need one workspace — not another spreadsheet of open threads.
Why TabAir
Why buyers use TabAir
TabAir does not replace your commercial judgement. It organises the marketplace process around you: enquiry, staff-brokered coordination, deal confirmation, platform fees, product payment, and shipment tracking.
Two ways to start
Enquire on a live catalogue listing, or submit a procurement request when you need TabAir to help source a part that is not already listed.
Staff-brokered coordination
TabAir Admin kicks off and relays conversations so buyers, sellers, and agents work through a moderated marketplace process — with clearer accountability.
One buyer workspace
Messages, quotes, deals & payments, and orders & shipments stay in your account so your team can see status without digging through email.
Visible commercial checkpoints
After a deal is confirmed, you can see platform fee status, product payment progress, and shipment updates in-platform.
Fit
Is TabAir right for your buying team?
TabAir is built for B2B aviation-parts procurement — MRO, operators, traders, and sourcing teams who want structure around enquiries and fulfilment status.
A strong fit if you
- Teams that buy aviation parts regularly and need a cleaner enquiry trail
- Buyers who want catalogue search plus RFQ-style procurement requests
- Organisations that prefer marketplace-mediated communication before dealing offline
- Buyers who want fees, payments, and shipment status in one place after a deal closes
Not a fit if you
- Casual consumer / scrap browsing with no commercial intent
- Anyone expecting TabAir to certify part airworthiness on your behalf
- Buyers who refuse marketplace fee and payment workflows after a deal is confirmed
Process
How buying works on TabAir — step by step
From account creation to delivery confirmation, the buyer journey is designed so you always know the next action.
01
Create and verify your buyer account
Register as a buyer, verify your email, and open the buyer dashboard. Your workspace becomes the home for enquiries, messages, deals, and shipments.

Browse the catalogue or submit a requirement
Search live participant listings and send an enquiry, or use Request a Product when you need TabAir to help source against a part number, condition, quantity, and commercial need.
03
Coordinate through TabAir messages
After Admin kickoff, continue the conversation in Messages. Review quotes, questions, and documents shared through the marketplace thread — keep due diligence with your team.

Confirm the deal and complete payments
When TabAir closes the commercial terms, your Deals & payments area shows platform fee and product payment status so you can complete required steps in order.
