Our Team
Avsource is comprised of experts from the industry focusing on one goal: to offer the best experience to our customers.
Rick Cora – President

Mr. Cora has an extensive career in aviation. His experience covers the entire spectrum of the industry. His work in aeronautics began at a Part 145 Repair Station, where he handled everything from cleaning used parts to managing outside sales.
Before opening Avsource International, he managed his own aircraft company, which would disassemble aircraft, repair the parts and re-sell them to other companies. But, soon after, through Avsource International, his dream of owning his own aircraft parts supplier came to fruition.
As President of Avsource International Inc., Mr. Cora uses his in-depth knowledge of the industry to direct all sales and purchasing.

By the end of the dealership’s first full year in business, he was managing the nation’s largest volume Honda dealer.
