Ignite Aero Engines has unveiled a new brand identity and leadership structure, marking a decisive new chapter for one of South Florida’s prominent commercial jet engine maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) providers.

Now operating as Ignite Aero Engines, the company builds on decades of experience delivering comprehensive engine MRO solutions to global commercial operators from its South Florida base. The business is supported by FAA and EASA certifications and offers full capability across the CFM56 engine series.

As part of its strategic transformation, Juan Pantoja has been appointed President of Ignite Aero Engines. He brings deep operational and regulatory expertise, developed through senior leadership roles across the aviation MRO ecosystem.

“Ignite Aero Engines is more than a new name – it is a statement of intent,” said Juan Pantoja, President of Ignite Aero Engines. “We are doubling down on what our customers value most: modular maintenance solutions, predictable turn-around times, technical excellence, and a relentless focus on safety and quality. Our new identity reflects a forward-leaning organisation ready to scale alongside our customers’ growth.”

Anchored in a vertically integrated aviation group

Ignite Aero Engines operates as part of TXG (The Xtreme Group), a vertically integrated aviation services platform encompassing MRO and cargo airline operations.
