MRO In Aviation

When we talk about MRO, the most common word in the aviation industry, unfortunately very few people know about various integrities of these three alphabets. MRO stands for maintenance, repair and overhaul. These are general terms which are in common knowledge and more or less these are self-explanatory for any equipment machine or instrument.

In this article my initiative is to talk in detail about various technical aspects of MRO concept, its importance and relevance in the context of aviation sector. Well, for revenue generation point of view the feature had enlarged the scope of MRO which has not been thought about.

Maintenance in the context of aviation can be understood when work is done to ensure that Aircraft is in prime condition and there are no snags or failures observed but still Aircraft is serviced to simply keep the functional readiness.

Repair gives cause of action because thousands of moving parts and software integration in the Aircraft requires repair when instrument panels does not respond as expected or there is engine failure or there are instances of broken windows.

Overhaul is required when there is high rate of wear and tear which comes after specific duration of flight operations. In this process, the Aircraft is dismantled piece by piece and each part is inspected to reassemble. The overhaul needs detailed inspection of surface and internal parts of the Aircraft. We can appreciate that MRO is an activity which is essential to ensure safety and airworthiness of all Aircrafts as per international standards.

Commercial Aircraft market at Global level

As per statistics available for 2018 the MRO expenditure rose to the tune of US $191 billions which is expected to go up to US$255 billion by the year 2028. When we talk about India it was US$800 million in 2011 which is increased to US$1.5 billion.
