It’s a Gas, Gas, Gas …
O2 Aero Acquisitions and Aerox Aviation Oxygen Systems announced that the latter has acquired the aviation oxygen assets of Air Craft Industries Inc. [doing business as Sky-Ox.]
The acquisition broadens Aerox’s line of portable oxygen systems for cargo, commercial, business, and general aviation users—as well as STCs [Supplemental Type Certificates] for O2 systems in a range of general aviation aircraft models.
O2 Aero Managing Director and Aerox president Scott E. Ashton states: “Our acquisition of Sky-Ox will allow us to provide our customers with more options for oxygen systems for their aircraft,” Ashton adds, “Sky-Ox holds multiple, legacy STCs for installed oxygen systems that will continue to be supported, providing aircraft owners with the ability to use and maintain these very important systems with confidence. We intend to update these STCs with more modern hardware and to expand them to additional aircraft types to give aircraft owners a wider range of options.”
Sky-Ox is known for its Click-a-Breath portable oxygen systems that require no adjustments—other than to set the desired altitude on the top of the regulator.
Aerox’s acquisition of Sky-Ox closed on 31 March 2022. The extant Sky-Ox facility will be relocated to Aerox’s headquarters in Bonita Springs, FL. Customers will be able to purchase Sky-Ox products from Sporty’s Pilot Shop and at the Aerox website.
A leading designer and manufacturer of aviation oxygen systems and accessories since 1981 Aerox provides products that ensure pilot wellness, alertness, and safety. The company offers OEM and STC installed oxygen systems, TSO-approved oxygen masks, PMA Oxygen Cylinders, and portable O2 solutions. In 2020, Aerox Aviation Oxygen Systems was purchased by O2 Aero Acquisitions, an investment holding company led by aviation entrepreneur Scott Ashton.
