Featuring stellar fleet support with high-quality aftermarket aircraft, engines, and parts, in combination with our cost-saving engineered products. The MRO of the past often entailed strategies focused on the maintenance, repair, and overhaul of a single part of an aircraft.
What exactly does integrated aircraft MRO entail? We help commercial aviation leaders achieve healthy fleet growth through aircraft sales and leasing and optimize that fleet from service life through acquisition and retirement. Pair comprehensive aircraft MRO services with a variety of value-add capabilities to bring your fleet to new heights.
A global aviation leader, AerSale specializes in the sale, lease, and exchange of used aircraft, engines, and components, in addition to providing a broad range of maintenance, repair, and overhaul MRO services and engineering services for commercial aircraft and components.
In some instances, at bigger flight departments, these may be sizeable organizations. As you would expect, the military runs its own MRO facilities all over the world. Manned by service members, these MRO facilities provide all of the same maintenance that civilian aircraft receive.
In the United States, the FAA certifies repair stations, just like it certifies other air agencies like pilot schools, training centers, and maintenance technician schools. Government regulators around the world require registered aircraft to meet specific requirements and have particular inspections. Many MRO businesses are wholly owned by commercial airlines or their parent companies.
Some, like Delta TechOps , operates as a separate division within the airline. Even though these organizations are built to support the airlines they are affiliated with, most welcome MRO business from other sources. These facilities are certified to work on particular aircraft, and they are the operations of choice for smaller airline operators and corporate airliners. General aviation aircraft usually use independent repair stations or FBOs. These are the most common facilities at smaller secondary airports where these aircraft operate.
These facilities typically specialize in particular types of aircraft, but usually, any repair station can be used by any aircraft. Most general aviation aircraft use the MRO closest to them. MRO businesses have to be flexible and accommodating if a transient aircraft breaks down at their airport. The aviation industry is a small community, and most operators will work to help out stranded aircraft.
Typically, cabin maintenance replacement of screws in seats, tray tables, painting of overhead bins, etc is NOT covered in the AMM and hence cannot be done as neither line nor base airframe maintenance.
Thus, it would have to be done as component maintenance under the C category. Whether this is legal or not is for the CAA to decide, not me. I too enjoyed your article.
Question — Is training, customer specific, included within an MRO license? Thanks for the nice exposition on MRO. Thanks for sharing this article. This is excellent article. Precise surveillance and upkeep of aircraft and their supporting facilities is essential to retain public and governmental trust in the safety of our skies. Your email address will not be published.

Major commercial airlines maintain the biggest market share of mechanics and technicians in the civilian MRO market.
Because commercial airline MROs exist solely to support the airline's fleet, there typically isn't a specific business model in place. Commercial airline MRO facilities are usually located at the airline's major hub. As these MROs are owned and operated by the airline, they provide all levels of services and repair.
As a general rule, most major airline MRO facilities don't subcontract work for competing airlines, but there are sometimes exceptions.
MRO services should coincide with hub locations when possible to maximize efficiency. Regional airlines usually operate out of smaller, regional airports rather than major hubs. The regional airline-owned MRO facilities are instead scattered across an entire operating area. In terms of repair and inspection costs, there is not much of a difference between major airlines and regional airlines. But with the latter, you'll find slightly higher profit margins, tighter infrastructure budgets and smaller fleets.
Because of this, regional carriers have gotten creative to keep costs low. Many will break up repairs, dividing them between in-house technicians and subcontractors.
