AirOne MRO will be at MRO Europe 2026 at RAI Amsterdam, from 27 to 29 October. Cristian Brinza, who leads AirOne MRO, is meeting component repair shops by appointment on both exhibition days. To book a time, write to office@aironemro.com.
MRO Europe 2026 at a glance
MRO Europe is Aviation Week’s maintenance show for the European market. According to the organiser’s page, this year’s edition runs as follows:
- Conference: 27 and 28 October.
- Exhibition floor: 28 and 29 October.
- Venue: RAI Amsterdam.
- Size: over 11,500 attendees and more than 630 exhibitors, by the organiser’s own count.
The people who come include airlines, lessors, MROs, OEMs and their suppliers. That mix is also the reason we’re going. A component repair shop rarely meets its software supplier in person, and two days at RAI put a large part of the European maintenance trade in one building. If you haven’t registered yet, the visitor registration page has the passes.
We’ll be on the floor on the 28th and the 29th. The 27th is a conference day, so that’s when we travel and set up meetings.
Who AirOne MRO is
AirOne MRO is an aviation software and intelligence company. It was built inside the V1AeroSolutions wheel and brake shop in Voluntari, a working repair shop that overhauls aircraft wheels and brakes.
Our first product is the AirOne MRO app, shop management software for component repair shops working under EASA Part-145. The shop ran its own work on it before we offered it to anyone else. So every feature we talk about in Amsterdam has already been used on a real bench, by technicians, a storekeeper and a quality manager, with real parts and real release paperwork.
Because of that, the origin shapes the product. Large maintenance suites are built around fleets and aircraft. A component shop works around a single part number on a bench: one wheel, one brake, one actuator at a time. We think that difference is big enough to deserve its own software, and that’s the case we’ll make at MRO Europe 2026.
What we can discuss at MRO Europe 2026
A meeting with us is mostly a conversation: how your shop runs a job today, where the paperwork slows you down, and which parts of the AirOne MRO app deal with that. We’ll have the app with us. If a feature is easier to see than to describe, we’ll open it on the spot.
The features below are the ones that usually come up, in the order a job moves through a component shop, from the customer’s first request to the paid invoice. Quotes, invoicing and the customer portal are optional modules, so a shop switches on what it uses.
The customer’s request
Your customers log in to their own portal, by invitation from the shop, and send a work request: part number, serial, the fault, the removal reason, the work they want and the priority, up to AOG. The request lands in a queue where the shop acknowledges it, rejects it or quotes it.
Quotes and approval
A quote can price the job as fixed price, time and material, or not to exceed. The customer approves it in the portal or from an emailed link, or by phone and the shop records it. With quotes switched on, a work order can’t start until the customer accepts a quote or their PO covers it. When the inspection finds more work, the shop sends an additional-work quote and the job waits for the customer’s decision, line by line.
Receiving
Staff book the arrival in from the work request, with the customer, the PO and the aircraft already filled in. The part goes in against its serial number, with its incoming certificate. However, if it arrives unserviceable, it gets an unserviceable tag and a quarantine bin in stores.
The work order
Preliminary inspection, findings, job tasks and checklists built from templates for each part number and work order type. Steps that need an independent inspection carry a second sign-off. Technicians log their time against the work order in their timesheet.
Measurements and life counters
Bench measurements also go on the work order. Each serial number keeps its own counters, such as cycles and tyre changes, so the history of a wheel follows the wheel.
Tools
The calibration register keeps every calibrated tool with its calibration records. When a tool is found out of tolerance, the app opens an impact assessment for the quality manager to list the affected work orders and close it with a signature.
Stores
Serviceable and unserviceable stock, the parts catalogue, bins and locations, picking slips, BOM templates and storage-condition monitoring sheets.
Release
The work order ends in the work package PDF with the release certificate: EASA Form 1, or FAA Form 8130-3 or TCCA Form One for shops releasing under those rules. The customer downloads the work package from the portal, with delivery notes, NDT and evaluation reports, once they’ve agreed to receive it electronically.
Invoicing
When the work order reaches completed, the app drafts the invoice from the quote, the approved time and the parts used. Finance checks it, issues it, and sends it by email and to the portal. It handles domestic, reverse-charge and export VAT, several currencies and credit notes. A shop in Romania gets the e-Factura XML file ready to upload, and the app can also produce Peppol invoices. Customers pay by bank transfer, and finance records each payment against the invoice.
Control
Nine aviation roles out of the box, from Accountable Manager and Quality Manager to Certifying Staff, Technician and Storekeeper, plus custom roles, an audit log of who changed what, and two-factor login.
If records are what keep you up before an audit, read our guide to Part 145 record-keeping requirements for component shops before we meet. It explains what the work order has to hold under the EASA continuing airworthiness rules, and we can go through your own records against it.
Who should meet us at MRO Europe 2026
We’d like to meet the people who run component repair shops, most of all:
- Accountable managers and quality managers of independent EASA Part-145 component shops.
- Wheel and brake, landing gear, avionics, hydraulics and other component shops, whatever their size.
- Shops running their work on paper, spreadsheets or a system that was built for airlines, who want work orders, stores, tool calibration, quotes and invoices in one place.
- Ground handlers looking after their own ground support equipment. The app has a GSE maintenance add-on for equipment, defects, ground damage and training records.
Each customer gets its own installation of AirOne MRO, with its own data. Ask us about it in Amsterdam if that matters to your quality system.
How to book a meeting at MRO Europe 2026
Write to office@aironemro.com. To make the most of the time, put three things in the message:
- The day and the time that suit you, on 28 or 29 October.
- What your shop repairs and roughly how many people work in it.
- What you use today for work orders and stores.
After that, we’ll reply with a confirmed time and a meeting point at RAI. A meeting takes about thirty minutes. If you can, bring a work order you’ve closed recently. We’ll talk through how the same job would run in AirOne MRO, and open it in the app if you’d like to see it.
Can’t make it to Amsterdam? Write anyway. We’ll set up a video call after the show, and share the screen if you want to see the app.
After MRO Europe 2026: the Founding Shops
We’re also welcoming our first ten partner shops. The Founding Shops get their first six months of AirOne MRO free and a direct line to the people who build it. In return we ask for honest feedback from the bench. If that sounds like your shop, tell us when we meet.
MRO Europe 2026: frequently asked questions
On 28 or 29 October at RAI Amsterdam, during the hours the exhibition floor is open to visitors. Write to office@aironemro.com with a day and a time that suit you. We’ll confirm the slot and a meeting point in the hall.
Yes. The meeting is inside RAI, so you need a pass from the organiser, and the visitor registration page lists the options. If you’d rather not travel, we can hold the same meeting as a video call after 29 October. Write to the same address and tell us which week suits you.
Mostly your shop: what you repair and how a work order moves from receiving to release today. Then the AirOne MRO features that fit, from the request in the portal up to the invoice. The app is on the table, so anything you want to see, we can open.
Yes, once you switch on the customer portal. Your customers see each work order from the moment the part arrives, with its progress, its documents and a message thread with the shop. Their quotes, invoices and account statement sit in the same place.
No. It was built in a wheel and brake shop, so that’s where it is most mature, but nothing in the work order, stores or calibration modules is specific to wheels. Checklists are built per part number and work order type. Landing gear, avionics and hydraulics shops are exactly the people we want to meet in Amsterdam.
