Goodyear Aviation Australia, located in Melbourne, has been marketing and distributing aircraft tyres throughout Australia and the pacific region for over fifty years. Goodyear Aviation tyres are acknowledged globally for their high quality and for meeting stringent safety requirements of aviation safety authorities around the world.
Goodyear is continually investing in the research and development necessary to maintain a full product range of tyres, for a large variety of aircrafts that have been introduced over the last one hundred years. The Goodyear tyre range supplies the military, commercial airlines, general aviation and even vintage aircraft. Designing tyres that are able to endure such high speed and weight demands in aviation is a challenge for any tyre manufacturer, the fact that Goodyear has done this so successfully over a long period of time is a testament to the performance and reliability of the range.
Established in Australia in 1954, Goodyear Aviation is the only aircraft tyre retreader in Australia. The Aviation industry relies on retreads to reduce operating costs. All worn tyres undergoe rigorous non-destructive testing (NDT) before being approved for retreading. In February 2004 the company further invested in NDT equipment to further improve the inspection process.
The airlines operating throughout Australasia have supported Goodyear Aviation and the retread plant for many years. Due to this loyalty Goodyear intends to remain entrenched in the Asia-Pacific Aviation industry well into the long-term future.
Heritage
Nearly a century ago, Goodyear built the first aircraft tire. It was just the beginning of greater things to come. Goodyear would be the first tyre company to invent an aircraft tyre testing machine to help ensure dependability. It was also the first to develop aircraft tire retreads and radial aircraft tyres. Our overall vision for the future is reflected in the goals we've set for our Aviation Division.
From experimental aircraft to military flight operations and spacecraft, this industry is growing and changing at an unbelievable pace. In order to meet the new demands of our customers, we have committed our resources to stay on the leading edge of technology.
We've been making aircraft tyres that perform and keep performing under the most stringent demands. With over 3,000,000 landings in our testing department, that ongoing commitment to quality has made Goodyear the world's leading supplier of aircraft tyres. Our aircraft tyres are the first choice of pilots, fleet managers and technicians worldwide.
So when you choose Goodyear aviation products, you're not only getting the best products available, you're getting a commitment to service that extends above and beyond the life of your tyres.
