Aircraft Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul in the US

Squeaky wheels

In 2011, the Aircraft Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul industry will be picking up the pieces from the aftermath of the recession. Falling capacity among major airlines and a decline in the total number of active aircraft, hours flown and even aircraft accidents have resulted in less demand for aircraft services. Because trends in MRO services are sometimes irrespective of downstream demand conditions, such as in the case of scheduled maintenance and adherence to government regulation, the industry's downturn will be less significant compared to its major customers; however, weaker prices stemming from strong competition will offset the slight recovery in air travel expected in 2011. Participation is projected to stagnate as strong competition offsets a boost in numbers during the economic recovery over the next five years..

Companies in this industry provide support services to air transportation operators, including: aircraft inspection and testing; ferrying aircraft between departure gates and taxiways; aircraft maintenance and repair; and aircraft and parts overhaul. The main industry services are commonly referred to as maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO).
