MRO Americas Wins Best International Show at AEO Excellence Awards in London

MRO Americas Honored as Best International Show at AEO Excellence Awards

Aviation Week Network’s MRO Americas 2024 has been awarded the Best International Show (Americas) at the Association of Event Organizers (AEO) Excellence Awards, held in London on June 13. This accolade recognizes the event’s substantial influence on the aviation maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) sector over the past year, affirming its status as the largest global gathering for the industry.

A Landmark Event in Chicago

The 2024 edition of MRO Americas, hosted in Chicago for the first time, attracted over 17,000 registered attendees alongside more than 1,000 solution providers. The event featured numerous prominent speakers from airlines, lessors, and MRO organizations, reinforcing its position as a leading forum for industry dialogue and innovation. This milestone edition underscored the event’s ability to convene key stakeholders and showcase cutting-edge developments within the MRO sector.

Industry Context and Future Outlook

The award arrives amid heightened competition in the global MRO market. Competitors such as Setna iO have accelerated their expansion strategies, while new ventures like Inavia Aviation’s proposed MRO hub in Central India reflect the sector’s dynamic evolution. Recognition of MRO Americas is anticipated to attract further interest from investors and industry participants, potentially motivating rivals to enhance their services and infrastructure in response to the event’s growing prominence.

Following its successful 2024 event in Chicago, MRO Americas 2025 took place in Atlanta in April, achieving record attendance. The event is scheduled to return from April 21 to 23, 2026, in Orlando, continuing its tradition of rotating host cities to broaden its global reach.
