What does MRO stand for in aviation?
The term MRO stands for maintenance, repair, and overhaul. In aviation, this phrase is widely used to describe any big repair facility, whether it is part of an airline, an aircraft maintenance unit, an aircraft maintenance facility, or a military installation.
While the phrase has been overused to refer to a variety of organizations in the sector, they all revolve around aviation repair. This is the real basis for classifying those businesses as MRO aviation.
MRO facilities
An MRO facility is a structure, such as a workshop or a hangar, that engages in professional aviation maintenance. In addition, some MRO facilities offer other engineering services, such as engine, landing gear, and other aircraft component inspections, to ensure safety.
By using their ground support equipment, MRO technicians and equipment help ensure that flying aircraft perform safely and reliably.
MRO services are not confined to commercial airplane maintenance, repair, and overhaul. All of the following are covered by the most complete airplane MRO services:
- Commercial aircraft
- Corporate jets
- Helicopters
- Other special aircraft
It’s important to note that, while the term MRO facilities refers to a large industry, the business models of separate MRO facilities might be quite varied.
How does aircraft maintenance and repair work?
MRO, as previously said, entails a number of tasks ranging from component repair to maintenance and overhaul service. Because multiple business models were stated, we shall try our best to describe how aircraft MRO works.
