Pem-Air is a maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) service provider located in Florida. With two facilities in Brooksville and Davies, the company has evolved from providing component and accessory maintenance services 35 years ago to specialising in comprehensive engine repair, maintenance, and restoration solutions supporting commercial and government aircraft operators and lessors.
Pem-Air is a one-stop shop for current-generation and legacy jet turbine engines. Certified by the FAA and EASA, the MRO service provider meets the highest quality and compliance standards in the aviation industry, providing customers with confidence in the safety and reliability of their engines.
In addition to its experienced team of commercial and former military personnel, Pem-Air has an aircraft on ground (AOG) team and trusted lessor partnerships that add to its well-rounded, customised approach to a wide variety of MRO needs across the world. This experience lends itself to an esteemed reputation that reflects its four company values: dedication, quality, experience, and integrity.
Among a wide breadth of capabilities and supplemental services, Pem-Air prides itself on its ongoing commitment to aircraft engine maintenance and repair for airlines and leasing communities. This specialty in MRO and performance restoration extends to a number of current-generation and legacy engines – including the GE Aerospace CF34, CF6, GE90: Rolls-Royce BR211, Trent; CFM International CFM56; International Aero Engines V2500; Pratt Whitney PW2000, PW4000, JT9D; Engine Alliance GP7200 – making our services accessible to a wide range of fleets.

What sets Pem-Air apart?
A notable characteristic that differentiates Pem-Air from other jet engine MRO service providers is its independence from OEM and airline operators, which allows for true, unequivocal dedication to each individual customer’s needs. Whether you’re dealing with a limited budget, schedule restrictions, or custom operational needs, Pem-Air can provide a personalised solution for individual aircraft or fleets with unique needs. Pem-Air also has an extensive inventory of parts and partnerships with suppliers that combat current supply chain shortages, ensuring quick turnaround times.
What does that mean?
Pem-Air prides itself on being truly independent from OEM and airline operator interests, which allows it to be nimble and provide genuinely customer-focused services. When the company says the customer is at the center of its focus, it means it – there’s no hidden agenda. Pem-Air aligns itpriorities with its customers’ operational, scheduling, and budgetary needs.
The company’s flexible, customer-first approach allows it to focus on smaller to mid-sized operators with fleet sizes of around 50 engines. Pem-Air can complement its maintenance organisation with engine-specific engineering support. It can also provide the necessary flexibility in work scope management or induction slots and turnaround times that may not be offered by large OEMs or airline-affiliated MROs without long-term contracts.
Likewise, Pem-Air can support smaller lessors with a partnership programme that levels the playing field in terms of fleet maintenance. Partnering with Pem-Air bypasses the lessor’s need to build or maintain their own costly MRO infrastructure. For instance, when an engine requires urgent repair, Pem-Air’s priority service minimises downtime, keeping leases on schedule and reducing operational disruptions. Moreover, predictable pricing for maintenance allows smaller lessors to budget accurately and safeguard thin profit margins. By leveraging the “three Ps” — priority, competitive pricing, and product reliability — they gain access to comprehensive services, from routine inspections to major overhauls. This helps preserve engine residual values and build more robust lease agreements. These types of partnerships turn potentially unpredictable maintenance challenges into structured, cost-efficient solutions.
Among Pem-Air’s recent accomplishments is its new, cutting-edge facility located near Tampa International Airport. This new facility spans over 80,000 sq. ft. (7,200m), increasing its previous capacity by eight times. It contains over 20 engine bays, with the capacity to accommodate up to 35 engines, depending on the type and configuration. It allows Pem-Air to service a wider range of aircraft engines, particularly the larger GE-90 and Trent turbofans, helping it to meet a wider array of customers’ needs.
