AerSale has upgraded its aerostructures MRO capacity in South Florida to support widebody structures.
The company has moved to a new, expanded facility in Hialeah Gardens, between Miami International Airport and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. The 90,000-ft.2 facility is approximately three times the size of its previous aerostructures MRO location in Medley. AerSale says the new facility will significantly increase its throughput and expand its capabilities for larger components.
The facility features a new heating oven, paint booth and sanding booth, which can accommodate larger components such as engine nacelles and thrust reversers for aircraft platforms such as the Airbus A330 and Boeing 777, and General Electric GE90 and Rolls-Royce Trent engines.
AerSale Chairman and CEO Nicolas Finazzo says the new facility “represents a quantum leap” for its aerostructures MRO business. “By investing in additional space and advanced equipment, we are expanding our capacity, improving reliability and positioning ourselves to better support our customers’ evolving fleet and operational needs,” he adds.
Aviation Week has reached out to AerSale for more details about the factors driving the expansion and whether the company intends to increase headcount at the new facility.
In AerSale’s most recent financial results, reported in November, it noted revenue—excluding five engines sold in 2024—was up 18.5% to $71.2 million in the third quarter of 2025. It says this was driven by strong commercial demand for used serviceable material and its AerSafe fuel tank ignition mitigation products, as well as additional contributions from its engine leasing, landing gear, aerostructures, accessories and on-airport MRO businesses.
Finazzo says AerSale was also “seeing demand momentum” at its Goodyear, Arizona, MRO facility, “where a growing pipeline of recommissioning and service work should extend through 2026 as we seek to place longer-term contracts in our facility.” The company notes that it had strategically repurposed its Roswell, New Mexico, MRO facility “to focus on higher margin teardown and decommissioning work.”
AerSale also opened a new aircraft MRO location in 2024 at Millington-Memphis Airport, near its parts distribution facility in Memphis, Tennessee. That facility—which focuses on narrowbody maintenance, modifications, heavy MRO activities and aircraft storage and disassembly—includes a 112,000-ft.2 hangar with two narrowbody bays.
