AMETEK MRO, a leading provider of aviation maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services, is strengthening its business jet MRO operations in Europe. This strategic move aims to accommodate the rapid growth in the business aviation sector globally.

By integrating advanced technologies, innovative processes, and skilled technicians, each facility offers a wide array of component repair services, covering wheels & brakes, safety equipment, avionics, and other specialized repairs, catering to scheduled and unscheduled maintenance needs.
Ismael Fadili, VP Sales – Europe at AMETEK MRO, explains growth in the sector and how it impacts the organisation’s strategy. “Currently the European Business Jet Market size is estimated at US$4.60 billion and is expected to reach US$7.08 billion USD by 2030 so the component MRO segment of the market is expected to grow rapidly over the next six years. At AMETEK MRO AEM and ANTAVIA, we partner with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to gain the technical expertise and required MRO certification for performing on-site MRO services to business jets. These partnerships, which form the bedrock of our business in the commercial sector, will underpin our presence and share of the bizjet market.”
These services are carefully designed to meet the needs of individual business jets, ensuring optimal safety, reliability, and performance standards. AEM has expanded its escape raft capabilities for corporate jets of various sizes at its UK facility near Stansted Airport. Meanwhile, ANTAVIA has established a new battery shop, oxygen MRO capability, and specialized wheels & brakes services close to Paris Le Bourget. Positioned strategically, these facilities prioritize efficiency to effectively serve the growing demands of the business jet market.
Fadili went on saying that the existing systems are undergoing modification and upgradation to maintain the ongoing business jet fleet updated and to maintain newer technologies, “Our relationships with the OEMs enable us to stay abreast of the market with an inside track to changes and developments. Value to our customers is delivered through comprehensive aftermarket component repair capabilities underpinned by OEM quality.”
