FlyHouse announced the acquisition of JetsMRO, an FAA Part 145-certificated aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul provider based in Dallas, Texas. The deal strengthens FlyHouse's maintenance capabilities and expands the company's presence in two of the most active business aviation markets in the country.
JetsMRO holds an FAA Part 145 certificate, the federal designation required for repair stations conducting maintenance on aircraft, airframes, powerplants, and components. The acquisition gives FlyHouse a direct maintenance capability to complement its aircraft management and charter services, a vertical integration approach that several business aviation operators have pursued to manage costs and turnaround times.
The US MRO market is projected to reach approximately $97 billion in 2026, up from $91 billion in 2025, driven by aging commercial and business aviation fleets, continued delivery delays from manufacturers, and a deepening demand for aftermarket services. Aviation Week projects the commercial MRO segment will grow at a 3.2% compound annual rate through 2035.
Labor shortages remain one of the most significant constraints on MRO capacity. The FAA's Office of Inspector General announced in February 2026 that it will conduct an audit focused on consistency in certifying domestic repair stations, as required by the FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024. Separately, the FAA issued a $2.8 million civil penalty against PEMCO World Air Services in Tampa for maintenance violations.
The FlyHouse-JetsMRO combination reflects a broader trend of consolidation among smaller MRO providers seeking scale to compete with larger players and manage regulatory compliance costs.
