    Aircraft maintenance involves overhauling, repairing, inspecting, or modifying aircraft or their components to ensure safe functioning. Maintenance tasks are highly regulated by national and international standards to ensure airworthiness. Regulations tightly control maintenance tasks, personnel, and inspections, and staff must be licensed. Maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) involves fixing mechanical, electrical, or plumbing devices when broken as well as performing routine maintenance to prevent issues. MRO can involve retaining a customer's property and providing service or buying and reselling a product. The four main types of aircraft maintenance are preventive, operational, corrective, and adaptive maintenance.

    Aircraft maintenance is the overhaul, repair, inspection or modification of an aircraft or aircraft

    component.
    Maintenance may include such tasks as ensuring compliance with Airworthiness Directives or
    Service Bulletins.
    The maintenance of aircraft is highly regulated, in order to ensure safe and correct functioning
    during flight. National regulations are coordinated under international standards, maintained by
    bodies such as the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). The maintenance tasks,
    personnel and inspections are all tightly regulated and staff must be licensed for the tasks they
    carry out.
    Maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) or maintenance, repair, and overhaul involves fixing
    any sort of mechanical, plumbing or electrical device should it become out of order or broken
    (known as repair, unscheduled, or casualty maintenance). It also includes performing routine
    actions which keep the device in working order (known as scheduled maintenance) or prevent
    trouble from arising (preventive maintenance). MRO may be defined as, "All actions which have
    the objective of retaining or restoring an item in or to a state in which it can perform its required
    function. The actions include the combination of all technical and corresponding administrative,
    managerial, and supervision actions."
    MRO operations can be categorised by whether the product remains the property of the
    customer, i.e. a service is being offered, or whether the product is bought by the reprocessing
    organisation and sold to any customer wishing to make the purchase (Guadette, 2002). In the
    former case it may be a backshop operation within a larger organization or smaller operation.
    The former of these represents a closed loop supply chain and usually has the scope of
    maintenance, repair or overhaul of the product. The latter of the categorisations is an open loop
    supply chain and is typified by refurbishment and remanufacture. The main characteristic of the
    closed loop system is that the demand for a product is matched with the supply of a used product.
    Neglecting asset write-offs and exceptional activities the total population of the product between
    the customer and the service provider remains constant.

    Maintenance types
    Generally speaking, there are four types of maintenance in use:

    Preventive maintenance, where equipment is maintained before break down occurs.

    Operational maintenance, where equipment is maintained in using.

    Corrective maintenance, where equipment is maintained after break down. This


    maintenance is often most expensive because worn equipment can damage other parts
    and cause multiple damages.

    Adaptive maintenance, where equipment is maintained by letting it adapt to new


    environment.
