The MRO Americas conference, held April 8-10, 2025, at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, GA, was a pivotal event for the aviation maintenance, repair, and overhaul industry. At WTP Advisors, we Brian Schwam and Jim Fyrie were excited to attend this premier gathering, connecting with industry professionals and sharing our expertise in Transfer Pricing and IC-DISC. One of our most enriching interactions was with Richard Pulcar, General Manager at Parts to Fly, whose business card we collected during the conference.
Parts to Fly, based in Davie, FL, specializes in providing aviation parts and support services, catering to the needs of the global aviation community. Meeting Richard Pulcar at MRO Americas offered a great opportunity to explore how WTP Advisors could support their international operations. Jim Fyrie initiated our conversation, introducing our Transfer Pricing services, which help companies like Parts to Fly manage their intercompany transactions across global markets with precision and compliance.
Richard shared that Parts to Fly frequently engages in global distribution, supplying aviation parts to clients worldwide, which makes financial compliance a key priority. Brian Schwam explained how our Transfer Pricing strategies ensure that cross-border transactions are priced appropriately, aligning with global tax regulations while optimizing profitability. For a company like Parts to Fly, which likely deals with international suppliers and clients, Transfer Pricing can streamline operations and reduce risks. Richard appreciated the relevance of Transfer Pricing to their business, noting that their global operations had increased the complexity of their financial strategies.
Our discussion then shifted to tax optimization, where WTP Advisors’ IC-DISC services proved highly relevant. Jim Fyrie highlighted how an IC-DISC (Interest Charge-Domestic International Sales Corporation) can help Parts to Fly lower their tax liability on export income. With their business model centered on exporting aviation parts globally, an IC-DISC could provide significant tax savings, enabling them to reinvest in their operations or expand their market reach. Richard was intrigued, recognizing the potential of IC-DISC to support their export-focused strategy.
At MRO Americas, we also explored the aviation industry’s supply chain challenges, a topic Richard was deeply engaged in. Parts to Fly’s role in providing critical components for MRO activities underscored the importance of financial efficiency. Brian Schwam emphasized how Transfer Pricing could support their supply chain by ensuring compliance and aligning pricing strategies with business goals. Richard noted that maintaining cost efficiency while scaling globally was a priority, and our insights offered a clear path forward.
The Atlanta conference provided the perfect platform for this exchange, fostering connections that could lead to impactful collaborations. We discussed Parts to Fly’s vision for future growth, including their focus on expanding their global presence in the aviation sector. Richard’s goals aligned well with WTP Advisors’ mission to empower aviation businesses through financial clarity, and we left the conversation excited about the potential to collaborate.
