Keeping the Beat: Fresh Perspectives on Aviation MRO

Modern aviation maintenance organizations across aerospace and defense are under growing pressure to improve consistent turnaround time, fleet readiness, and compliance while operating with constrained resources. In this environment, average turnaround time alone is…

For decades, speed has been the primary yardstick of aviation MRO performance across aviation, aerospace, and defense organizations. Faster turnaround times were equated with higher aircraft availability, improved utilization, and better economics across maintenance,…

As someone who has spent my entire career working inside aviation maintenance operations, I can tell you this with absolute certainty: paper is holding our industry back. Not because teams aren’t working hard, but because the tools we give them make it nearly…

In aviation maintenance, we often talk about turnaround time, technician productivity, and operational readiness. But in my experience working with MROs across commercial aviation, defense, and rotorcraft operations, one truth rises above them all: aviation compliance…

Digital transformation in aviation MRO has moved past the point of debate. In his recent article, our CEO Suresh Iyer made the case clearly: the forces reshaping the industry, labor shortages, fleet growth, aging aircraft assets, compliance pressure, and unpredictable…

After more than 25 years working across Aerospace, Defense, and high-tech Maintenance operations, I’ve seen firsthand how dramatically the MRO landscape has changed. Aircraft are more complex, turnaround expectations are tighter, and the pressure on technicians and…

Why Effective MRO Management Matters More Than Ever Across my military and industry career, one principle has always held true: operational readiness depends on the men and women turning wrenches, troubleshooting systems, and ensuring every aircraft is safe to fly. As…

The Aviation Workforce Challenge The aviation maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) industry faces a major challenge: an aging workforce and growing fleet demands. Nearly 38% of certified technicians are over 60, according to the Aviation Technician Education…

In aviation maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO), countless metrics get tracked. From compliance rates to tool calibration checks, every detail matters. But ask any MRO operator what keeps the lights on, and you’ll hear one answer over and over: Turnaround Time…

As the aviation industry accelerates into 2025 and beyond, Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) operations are under increasing pressure to evolve. Global MRO demand is projected to surpass $282 billion, according to Aviation Week, fueled by growing fleet sizes and…
