Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) providers play a critical role in aviation by ensuring that aircraft remain operational and safe. These services, which include cabin retrofits, fuel efficiency upgrades, and system installations, enhance both comfort and performance. However, the core focus remains on safety—particularly for aging aircraft, which require specialized attention to maintain reliability and performance over time. LAS 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.

Precision is paramount in the high-stakes world of aircraft maintenance. Strict regulations and rigorous inspections are necessary to ensure compliance. But for operators, this means navigating an ever-evolving maze of stakeholders, vendors and approvals. Partnering with a one-stop shop like Phoenix Composite Solutions who can handle testing, repairs and compliance is crucial to make an operator’s life easier. The company specializes in composites and manages a variety of projects, ranging from commercial/medical aerospace components to classified defense applications. Phoenix Composite Solutions focuses on OEM and MRO, offering design development, technical document-based manufacturing and comprehensive non-destructive testing (NDT). It even provides traditional mechanical testing, which covers climbing drum, overlap shear, floating peel and flat-wise tensile testing with its 100 KTN machine. Beyond manufacturing and testing, Phoenix Composite Solutions is well-renowned for its leadership in aircraft parts repair. While most players classify parts beyond economical repair (BER) as scrap, the company takes a different approach. It develops repair solutions approved by FAA-designated engineering representatives (DER), enabling airlines to salvage valuable components while remaining fully compliant with regulations. “Rather than discarding legacy parts, we develop certified repair solutions that keep mature aircraft flying,” says John Scanlon, CEO and co-founder. “With lower labor rates at our Michigan facility and our logistical and material expertise, we deliver unmatched value to our clients.” The company begins a client engagement with a thorough component teardown and evaluation. If manual repair isn’t feasible, the in-house repair coordinator works closely with an FAA-approved DER to develop and execute an authorized repair solution. “Our expertise lies in bringing older parts on par with newer material, extending their life as well as making them stronger than the original design,” says Erick Martin, president. Building on its commitment to cost-effective repair solutions, Phoenix Composite Solutions actively secures maintenance contracts and agreements with airlines, air freight carriers and brokers. To encourage long-term partnerships, it offers volume discounts to generate significant business opportunities. Further strengthening its capabilities, the company has organized its operations into specialized divisions, each with dedicated engineering, planning, and management teams for its OEM/manufacturing and MRO sectors.
