On May 16, 2024, Van’s Aircraft successfully emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy, completing the critical restructuring process necessary to secure our future and allow us to better serve our customers. The need to file for Chapter 11 protection was driven by significant financial challenges, including supply chain disruptions, increased production costs, and quality issues exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
We are now focused on refining internal processes and quality while enhancing both customer support and product development. We are dedicated to restoring your trust while delivering the high-quality products and support you expect from Van’s Aircraft. As we move forward, our immediate priorities include:
- Enhancing Customer Support: We are implementing new systems and processes to improve communication and responsiveness to customer needs.
- Strengthening Operations: We are optimizing our production processes to ensure efficiency and reliability in delivering our aircraft kits.
- Investing in Quality Assurance: We are revising our control measures to address quality issues that developed following the COVID-19 pandemic and ensure that our products meet the highest standards of safety and performance.
- Investing in Innovation: We are committed to advancing our product development efforts to meet the evolving needs of the aviation community.
Van’s extends our heartfelt gratitude to all of our employees, partners, and customers for their unwavering support. Your trust has been invaluable. With the restructuring now complete, we are committed to serving the RV community with integrity and excellence. We are truly excited about our future and the coming launch of the eagerly awaited RV-15.
See you at an airport or fly-in soon!
