We're Hiring in Bates City, MO!
At BAS Part Sales, we don’t just sell airplane parts - we fuel the future of aviation. Headquartered in Greeley, Colorado, and founded in 2012, we’ve quickly become one of the most recognized names in aircraft salvage and used airplane parts worldwide. With over 120,000 unique items in our online store - and more added daily - we’re leading the charge in e-commerce innovation for the aviation industry.
Driven by passion and precision, our team has built BAS into the largest internet-based supplier of aircraft salvage parts on the planet. From used parts and components salvaged from old aircraft to new old stock to some brand-new parts, we offer solutions for virtually every inch of an aircraft - and we do it with speed, scale, and unmatched customer service.
In 2023, we expanded our footprint by acquiring White Industries near Kansas City, read the blog article. Now rebranded as BAS Kansas City, that team has grown from four to over a dozen in less than two years - and we’re just getting started.

What is BAS Kansas City?
The Airfield
BAS Kansas City is no ordinary workplace - it’s 180 acres of aviation action. Located at Harry S Truman Regional Airport, our massive airfield features four hangars packed wall-to-wall with aircraft parts - from small general aviation planes to large turbine-powered business jets and even small commercial aircraft. With 100,000 square feet under roof and planes as far as the eye can see, this is where aviation comes to life.
The Story
Formerly White Industries, a respected aircraft salvage operation with over 50 years of history, the Kansas City location was acquired by BAS in March 2023 along with its aircraft, parts inventory, and four amazing employees. Since then, we’ve been steadily transforming the facility into a high-powered extension of our game-changing Colorado operation, where we redefined the aircraft salvage industry 13 years ago.
Three of the original four team members remain valued contributors to our growing KC crew (one has since retired), and we’ve been expanding ever since - bringing in new talent to help list and manage a massive inventory through our award-winning e-commerce platform.
Now, we’re hiring again - and it’s a great time to come aboard. Since the acquisition and rebranding, BAS Kansas City has been booming: shipping aircraft parts across the globe, and even landing whole planes in film and TV productions like Landman on Paramount+. We’ve breathed new life into a legacy operation, and the momentum is only picking up.
If you’re ready to bring your skills to a thriving, forward-thinking team in a company that values innovation, growth, and people - BAS Kansas City is ready for you.

If you bring a strong work ethic, a positive attitude, and a willingness to learn something new, we’ll help you grow into a rewarding career. Come see us at the job fair and take the first step toward an exciting career in the aviation industry!
