Maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) is a common term utilized by many industries. This article explains what an MRO is, how it is used in the aviation industry, and the advantages of using Airshare as your MRO provider. 

An MRO is an aircraft maintenance facility capable of performing required maintenance/inspection. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requires all aircraft to have maintenance/inspection, repair and overhaul performed by a certified entity. An MRO is one of the certified entities that qualify to perform maintenance, repair and overhaul on an aircraft, engine, or accessory. Most MROs function as FAA Certified Repair Stations and are certified to perform specific maintenance in accordance with their Operation Specifications. In addition, some MROs operate using only each mechanics’ A&P license as the FAA-certified entity for general maintenance.
