The market is driven by factors such as a large and aging aircraft fleet, increasing air travel demand, and stringent safety regulations

Market Overview

The aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) market is a solid and developing sector, powered by a complicated combination of economic, operational, and technological factors. The airlines are recovering from the pandemic and are facing new challenges, but the demand for MRO services keeps growing. These services are considered to be crucial in the safety and efficiency of flying as they involve carrying out routine inspections and conducting complex overhauls of both turbine and piston engines to meet the standards set by the FAA and ICAO. Core structural inspections and control of corrosion and structural repairs, which usually take place inside the hangars, are usually done.

In February 2025, Air France Industries KLM Engineering & Maintenance and Air Canada entered into a 10-year Component Support agreement concerning 58 B787 Dreamliners, thus creating a new pool stock in Toronto aimed at providing better support for Air Canada’s growing operations.

The Canadian government, through its Strategic Innovation Fund, is encouraging the growth of MRO, which is also the case with the planned new CAD 120 million LEAP-1B shop in Calgary that is going to be opened in 2027. The IAP and FAP are still not done with their emission and hazardous waste standard tightening, and this has forced MRO suppliers to set up more complicated waste disposal systems just to keep their operating licenses.

Driving Factors

The aircraft MRO market in North America is driven by a greater need for both scheduled and unscheduled maintenance is a direct result of the higher operational tempo. The period of routine checks and service intervals is shortened and the likelihood of unexpected repairs is heightened. This causes a steady and substantial flow of work for MRO providers. Not only are airlines renewing their fleets, but they are also taking in new aircraft, especially narrow-body and regional jets, to meet the demand for an increasing number of routes and passengers. The MRO workload has increased directly as a result of this expansion, especially in the low-cost carrier and regional sectors.

Restraining Factors

The aircraft MRO market in North America is restrained by a high number of skilled technicians nearing retirement age. The situation of demand being greater than supply not only results in increased labor costs due to wage inflation, which has surpassed 20%, but also causes delays in performing necessary maintenance, repair, and overhaul tasks. Consequently, the overall operational expenses are rising, which are impacting profit margins and preventing the companies from growing. Among the various factors contributing to high expenses in MRO, labor costs hold a significant position.

Market Segmentation

The North America Aircraft MRO Market Size share is categorised into type, application and aircraft type.

• The engine segment accounted for the largest revenue market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. 

The North America Aircraft MRO Market Size is segmented by type into airframe, engine, component. Among these, the engine segment accounted for the largest revenue market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. 42.43% of the total revenue for 2024 came from engine activity as 18,000 active commercial turbofans caused the first-run removals to occur in a steady manner. The combination of the critical factors is what makes this segment the largest revenue contributor. The complexity and high cost of modern aircraft engines, along with the stringent regulatory supervision and high demand for engine shop visits, are the factors that contribute to this segment being the largest revenue generator.

• The line maintenance segment dominated the market in 2024 and is projected to grow at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period.  

Based on application, the North America Aircraft MRO Market Size is segmented into line maintenance and base maintenance. Among these, the line maintenance segment dominated the market in 2024 and is projected to grow at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period. The segmental growth is driven by the use to foster the security of an aircraft, launched daily and routine transits or mainly on pre-arrival, daily, or weeklong scales.

• The commercial aircraft segment accounted for the largest revenue market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. 

The North America Aircraft MRO Market Size is segmented by aircraft type into commercial aircraft, military aircraft, business and general aviation. Among these, the commercial aircraft segment accounted for the largest revenue market share in 2024 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.
