Circular Economy and MRO: Aviation’s Sustainable Future

The aeronautical industry is flying towards a greener future. Amidst the global pressure to reduce environmental impact, the concept of circular economy has landed strongly, bringing with it a new way of thinking about aircraft maintenance.

At Flight Engineering Solutions (FES) we are clear: reducing waste, optimizing resources and extending the useful life of components is not only possible, it’s the way!

Reusing is flying smarter

When an aircraft completes its operating cycle, there is still a lot of value on board. Engines, landing gear, electronic systems… many of these components can be removed, inspected, reconditioned and returned to the air.

This not only represents relief for the planet, but also for the operating costs of airlines and operators.

State-of-the-art recycling

And what about composite materials that are difficult to treat? Today, innovation is doing its thing. Technology centers like Tekniker are developing equipment capable of recycling industry waste to give it a second life in other sectors. All this drives a more circular and less polluting value chain.

Digital and sustainable maintenance

Thanks to real-time monitoring tools and predictive analysis, we can now intervene before problems arise. This reduces downtime, avoids waste and improves overall efficiency.

At FES, we are committed to technology not only to make processes more efficient, but also to align them with sustainable standards.

In summary: Sustainability is not an option, it is a responsibility.

At FES, we integrate the circular economy into our MRO operations with a realistic, technical and committed approach. Because the future of aviation is also built from the ground, with conscious decisions and high-impact solutions.

MRO in Latin America: Challenge or Opportunity? Spoiler: Both!

In Latin America, aircraft maintenance is at a key turning point: the demand for MRO services is growing, but the usual challenges remain. The good news? There is huge potential—if we play our cards right. And at FES, we’re

Augmented and virtual reality in aeronautical maintenance: innovation or necessity?

Digital transformation has revolutionized the aeronautical industry, and technologies such as Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) are redefining aeronautical maintenance. These technologies allow not only to optimize technical work but also reduce downtime by improving safety and operational

What is the preventive maintenance process of a helicopter?

Preventive maintenance is essential to ensure the safety and reliable performance of helicopters. Due to their complex mechanics, which include dynamic rotor systems, transmissions, hydraulic systems, and specialized avionics, helicopters require a methodical and rigorous approach to preventive maintenance. This

Pioneering Women in Aviation

Throughout the history of aviation, numerous women have defied the social and technical conventions of their time, paving the way in a predominantly male field. One of the most prominent figures is Amelia Earhart, who, in 1932, became the first

How is an MRO Certified by EASA?

The certification of a Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) organization by the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) represents a recognition of excellence in the aviation industry. Obtaining this certification not only demonstrates an MRO’s ability to meet the highest

Integration of Drones in Aircraft Maintenance Inspections

The incorporation of drones in aircraft maintenance inspections is revolutionizing the industry by providing more efficient and safer methods for assessing the condition of aircraft. Traditionally, inspections required significant time and resources, as well as exposing personnel to risks associated

Cybersecurity in Digitalized Aircraft Maintenance Systems

Digitalization has radically transformed the aviation industry, and maintenance is no exception. Computerized Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS) and data platforms have optimized processes but have also introduced new cybersecurity challenges. The increasing interconnection of systems and reliance on sensitive data

Artificial Intelligence and Big Data: Transforming Aeronautical Maintenance

Aeronautical maintenance has undergone a silent revolution with the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Big Data. These technologies have not only optimized maintenance processes but also elevated safety and efficiency standards within the industry. Through advanced machine learning algorithms,
