=== Aviation MRO ===
A maintenance, repair, and overhaul organization (MRO) is a firm that ensures airworthiness or air transport. According to a 2024 article, "maintenance (M) involves inspecting, cleaning, oiling, and changing aircraft parts after a certain number of flight hours. Repair (R) is restoring the original function of parts and components. Overhaul (O) refers to extensive maintenance, the complete refurbishment of the aircraft, and upgrades in avionics, which can take several weeks to complete."<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal |last1=Wirths |first1=Oliver |last2=Tóth |first2=Zsófia |last3=Diaz Ruiz |first3=Carlos A. |date=2024 |title=Adversarial Service Networks: A Study of Service Firms' Response to Manufacturer-led Servitization in Aviation |journal=Industrial Marketing Management |volume=119 |page=166 |doi=10.1016/j.indmarman.2024.04.004 |issn=0019-8501|doi-access=free }}{{Creative Commons text attribution notice|cc=by4|from this source=yes}}</ref>  Airlines are legally obligated to certify airworthiness, meaning that a civil aviation authority must approve an aircraft suitable for safe flight operations.<ref>{{Cite book |last1=Kinnison |first1=Harry A. |url=https://www.accessengineeringlibrary.com/content/book/9780071805025 |title=Aviation Maintenance Management |last2=Siddiqui |first2=Tariq "Terry" |date=2013 |publisher=McGraw-Hill Education |isbn=978-0-07-180502-5 |edition=2nd |language=en}}</ref> MRO firms are responsible for this process, thoroughly checking and documenting all components' repairs while tracking mechanical, propulsion, and electronic parts.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Inside MRO {{!}} Aviation Week Network |url=https://aviationweek.com/Inside-MRO |access-date=2024-05-06 |website=aviationweek.com}}</ref> Aviation regulators oversee maintenance practices in the country of aircraft registration, manufacture, or current location.
