Breno Lemos, Managing PartnerLAS MRO is dedicated to prioritizing safety through rigorous processes, strict adherence to industry standards, and a forward-thinking approach to innovation. With over 15 years of experience in the MRO field, the company has become a trusted partner for clients by delivering exceptional service, reliability, and expertise.
Commitment to Safety and On-Time Delivery
“At LAS MRO, we understand that our clients’ aircraft are not just machines—they are valuable assets,” says Breno Lemos, managing partner. “Our mission is to keep them flying safely, especially older models that often require more than routine maintenance.” The company focuses on addressing safety issues while ensuring that costs remain reasonable and downtime is minimized.
LAS MRO primarily serves private aircraft owners (Part 91), commercial operators (Part 135), and larger fleet operators (Part 121). Its services include routine inspections, avionics upgrades, and emergency Aircraft on Ground (AOG) support. While all services are important, LAS MRO’s AOG response stands out. A key challenge for most clients is the unpredictability of how long their aircraft will remain out of service. To address this, LAS MRO maintains clear communication and provides accurate estimates, ensuring that clients are never surprised by delays. The company works hard to meet time commitments and minimize aircraft downtime.
AOG services are a major part of LAS MRO’s success. For instance, when a client’s aircraft was grounded in South America, the team flew in with the necessary parts and restored the aircraft to service within 48 hours—far quicker than competitors, who estimated weeks of downtime. LAS MRO’s ability to swiftly address AOG situations is supported by its company-owned Cessna 172, which allows technicians to fly to remote locations with the required parts, saving valuable time.

Skilled Team and Future Plans
LAS MRO’s success is also attributed to the expertise of its skilled workforce. With a mix of experienced professionals and newer technicians, the company maintains a culture of education and trust. Team members are continually trained, learning from seasoned experts to ensure they consistently deliver on the company’s promises. LAS MRO places a strong emphasis on trust, ensuring that clients know exactly what to expect, especially in high-stakes situations like AOGs.
LAS MRO operates from a 12,000-square-foot hangar, which has significantly increased its capacity for larger aircraft and more detailed projects. The company’s expanded facilities allow it to handle a greater variety of maintenance needs, including cabin comfort upgrades and avionics installations, such as in-flight Wi-Fi systems.
The company is committed to expanding its services even further and plans to continue growing its capacity, training, and tooling to meet the evolving needs of the industry. It aims to offer competitive pricing while maintaining a high level of quality in both routine inspections and specialized services.
In addition to providing industry-leading maintenance, LAS MRO has made safety a core focus beyond just aircraft repairs. Lemos, the company’s owner, wrote a book titled May the Loss of Lift Gravity Always Wins, which emphasizes the importance of safety in aviation. The book discusses the consequences of poor maintenance and highlights the company’s commitment to educating both consumers and future technicians. “We want to help develop the next generation of aviation professionals,” Lemos concludes.
Choosing Aircraft on Ground Support That Protects Dispatch Certainty
Aircraft on Ground (AOG) situations bring together some of the most challenging pressures in aviation. A grounded aircraft does not just create a maintenance issue. It can disrupt travel plans, delay crews, impact revenue and create uncertainty around repairs, parts availability and return-to-service timelines. For aircraft owners, charter operators and fleet managers, the right AOG support partner is one that can respond quickly without sacrificing sound judgment. Speed matters, but so do accuracy, safety and clear communication.
A strong AOG provider starts by bringing clarity to the situation. Grounded aircraft often come with incomplete information, uncertain diagnoses and limited local support options. The best teams can quickly assess the problem, identify what requires immediate attention and separate critical safety issues from items that can be addressed later. They provide realistic timelines, explain repair requirements clearly and maintain the documentation needed to support safe and compliant return-to-service decisions. In these situations, transparency is often more valuable than reassurance.
And time management is equally as vital. While most operators expect some repairs to take time, unexpected delays and constantly changing schedules are annoying and expensive. A successful AOG provider will manage expectations from the outset and try not to introduce any surprises, explaining potential variables that are crucial when maintenance decisions are required on older, sometimes less predictable airframes, where a balance with safety has to be struck.
Technical capability also plays a major role in recovery speed. AOG events rarely stay confined to a single repair. What begins as a field issue may lead to inspections, airframe work, avionics troubleshooting, engine maintenance or cabin-related repairs. Providers with broad maintenance capabilities can move seamlessly from diagnosis to resolution without relying on multiple handoffs. Just as important are the people performing the work. Aviation maintenance depends heavily on trust and experienced technicians who follow disciplined processes, mentor younger team members and communicate openly to give customers confidence when aircraft availability is on the line.
LAS MRO fits this standard particularly well for buyers that need practical Aircraft on Ground support backed by maintenance depth. It emphasizes AOG response as a central part of its work, while also supporting inspections, airframe repairs, avionics installs and modifications. Its ability to travel for recovery work, including cases outside the United States, strengthens its value for owners and operators facing aircraft downtime away from home base. The company’s expanded hangar capacity in Daytona Beach also supports larger inspections and projects, strengthening its AOG maintenance base. For executives prioritizing safety, realistic timelines and cost-aware return-to-service, LAS MRO stands out as a clear choice.
