Aircraft MRO services across heavy maintenance, component repair, and parts manufacturing
Airborne operates dual heavy-maintenance facilities (Wilmington and Tampa) serving cargo and passenger operators with Boeing and Airbus expertise. The tech stack is heavily weighted toward CAD, manufacturing simulation, and legacy enterprise systems (Mastercam, AutoCAD, Solidworks, Oracle) — typical of asset-intensive MRO operations — with recent adoption of Python and scikit-learn suggesting early-stage data analytics and quality-escape investigation automation. Engineering dominance in hiring (51 of 75 active roles) and project focus on heavy-maintenance checks, quality escapes, and work-package management reflect operational scaling pressure across manufacturing throughput.
