We do the supplier-hunting, so buyers don’t have to.
Aviation Souk is the procurement engine for aviation. Describe the part, model or problem you need; we ask the questions a supplier would, find who can supply it — in our network and beyond — and send them your complete brief, so the quotes come back to you ready to compare. The legwork a directory leaves to you, done for you. Bilingual EN/AR, with the deepest data where the gap is sharpest: the Gulf.
Close the gap between what buyers need and what suppliers can quote.
Procurement increasingly starts with a need typed in plain language — not an afternoon browsing a directory and emailing twenty companies. Generic AI doesn’t know aviation tenders, ECAC / FAA / GCAA compliance, 50°C derating, or which supplier actually makes the part. We do — and we don’t just answer, we route your requirement to the suppliers who can supply it and bring the quotes back. It starts in the Gulf, where the gap is sharpest, and works wherever aviation procurement happens.
Suppliers don’t pay for placement. They pay to be sent demand.
There’s no buying a better rank here. A Routed Supplieris one we send matching buyer RFQs to, with the buyer’s full details — they quote the buyer directly. Free suppliers are indexed and told when demand matches them, but receiving the lead is the paid step. Either way the AI never invents facts about anyone; trade-offs are shown; unclaimed profiles are labelled Unclaimed; corrections land within 48 hours.
Citation-led. No fabrication.
Public profiles are compiled from public sources — company materials, airport disclosures, regulatory filings — and labelled Unclaimed until a company verifies them. Supplier-supplied data is verified before it feeds the engine. Companies can request corrections within 48 hours.

I’m Liam. I built AviationSouk because the procurement teams I kept talking to described the same gap: brand-new airports going up at 50°C ambient, suppliers scattered across thirty countries, and no neutral place to compare them on the criteria that actually matter — heat derating, certification (ECAC, FAA, GCAA), regional service presence. Generic AI doesn’t know any of that, so I built one that does, and turned it into an engine that does the sourcing, not just the answering. It started in the Gulf, where the gap is sharpest and £100bn of new airports are rising, and it works wherever aviation procurement happens.
