Maintenance, repair and overhaul providers across the United States added capability and physical capacity in July, according to an industry roundup published by Aerospace Manufacturing and Design.
Avocet Aviation Services, based in Florida, added CRJ heavy maintenance to its FAA Repair Station Operations Specifications. Adding a type to a repair station certificate requires the operator to demonstrate to the Federal Aviation Administration that it holds the tooling, technical data, facilities and trained personnel for the work, and it opens a new revenue line without a new certificate application.
Duncan Aviation opened a 36,000 square foot designated overhaul facility in Lincoln, Nebraska for Pratt and Whitney Canada PW300 and PW500 engines. Both families power widely operated business jets, and dedicated overhaul capacity in the United States shortens turn times for domestic operators.
On the supply side, Survival Products, part of First Class Air, signed a ten year global exclusive distribution agreement with Boeing Distribution covering aviation survival systems. Long term distribution agreements of that length are uncommon in the aftermarket and give both parties predictable volume planning.
Workforce pipelines drew attention as well. American Airlines announced a partnership with Tarrant County College in Fort Worth, Texas that gives top candidates from the school's Aviation Maintenance Technology program priority access to interviews, mentorship and engagement with the airline's maintenance staff.
Analysts covering the sector project the global MRO market will reach roughly $97 billion in 2026, up from about $91 billion in 2025.
