In November 2025, Narendra Modi inaugurated the Safran Aircraft Engine Services India facility at the GMR Aerospace and Industrial Park – SEZ, near Rajiv Gandhi International Airport, via video conferencing. Addressing the occasion, the Prime Minister stated that India's aviation sector was entering a new phase of growth and that Safran's new facility would support the country's emergence as a global Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) hub.

Leading OEMs such as Safran Aircraft Engines and GE Aerospace are actively expanding their global service footprint through regional MRO investments. These hubs are designed to support next-generation engine platforms, improve service responsiveness, and reduce dependency on traditional centralized maintenance locations.

The establishment of such facilities also aligns with government-led aviation growth strategies focused on infrastructure modernization, skill development, and job creation in high-technology aerospace sectors. Collectively, these initiatives are significantly strengthening the global MRO ecosystem by increasing capacity availability, enhancing OEM–operator collaboration, and supporting the sustained growth of the aircraft engine MRO market.

The report includes the aircraft engine MRO market forecast by engine type, application, and aircraft type. Based on engine type, the aircraft engine MRO market is bifurcated into turbine engine and piston engine. In terms of application, the market is segmented into commercial, general, and military. By aircraft type, the market is classified into fixed-wing and rotary-wing. In 2025, fixed wing segment holds the largest aircraft engine MRO market share.

The scope of the aircraft engine MRO market report focuses on North America (the US, Canada, and Mexico), Europe (Russia, the UK, Germany, France, Italy, and the Rest of Europe), Asia Pacific (South Korea, China, India, Japan, Australia, and the Rest of Asia Pacific), Middle East and Africa (South Africa, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and the Rest of Middle East and Africa), and South and Central America (Brazil, and the Rest of South and Central America).

The aircraft engine MRO market in the Asia Pacific is segmented into Australia, China, Japan, India, South Korea, and the Rest of APAC. The Asia Pacific aircraft engine MRO market share is driven by expanding commercial aviation networks, increasing fleet sizes, and rising air passenger demand across emerging and developed economies. The region's relatively younger aircraft fleets are expected to drive long-term maintenance demand, particularly for next-generation engines. Growing investments by OEM-affiliated MRO providers and independent service companies are enhancing regional maintenance capacity and technical capabilities. As a result, Asia Pacific is becoming a key hub for engine aftermarket services and long-term aviation support solutions. The region is witnessing substantial investment in expanding maintenance infrastructure and capabilities, particularly to support rising fleet utilization and engine servicing demand. In December 2025, GA Telesis Engine Services secured Approved Maintenance Organization certification from the Republic of Korea's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport for CFM56-5B, CFM56-7B, and CF6-80C2 engines, enabling it to provide full overhaul services for South Korean operators. The company also expanded its regional footprint through an engine maintenance agreement with MIAT Mongolian Airlines for CFM56-7B engine overhauls. These developments highlight increasing competition and diversification in the regional MRO landscape, along with growing acceptance of independent service providers. These developments reflect the increasing diversification of the regional MRO landscape, intensifying competition among service providers, and the growing acceptance of independent engine maintenance specialists across Asia Pacific.
