The MRO market is experiencing significant growth due to the rising demand for aircraft maintenance. However, many MRO service providers struggle to complete maintenance tasks on time, as they rely on external spare parts suppliers and third-party freight forwarders for component movement. Timely delivery of aircraft components is crucial, as delays can lead to increased costs for airlines and negatively impact operational efficiency.
Thar Aviation began as a component supplier and aircraft recycler, steadily building its credibility and expanding its service portfolio. With its vast experience and strategic approach, it has developed cutting-edge solutions that ensure timely spare parts support for MROs, eliminating delays and reducing costs.
Unlike most MRO service providers that either lack in-house stock or maintain minimal inventories, resulting in prolonged wait times and higher logistics expenses, its robust inventory strategy sets it apart. To address these challenges, Thar Aviation has established a global presence with stocked inventory in the U.S., the UK, Bangladesh, India, and the UAE. This strategic network enables it to respond swiftly to MRO requirements, reducing component and logistics costs by 20-30% compared to other service providers.
"We also have a dedicated logistics team through our sister company, FLY TXL, which specializes in aviationspecific logistics services", says Jagadeesan Seenivasan, Regional Manager, Thar Aviation.
Another key factor driving up maintenance costs is the reliance on traditional methods, which impact reliability and turnaround time.
To tackle this challenge, the company has fully embraced digitization and AI-driven solutions, which now play a vital role in cost reduction. Its in-house AI and software team operates 24/7 to optimize processes, enhance efficiency, and drive continuous innovation in MRO services.
MRO Services with Logistics & AI Integration
Thar Aviation takes pride in its dedicated AOG (Aircraft on Ground) team, which operates 24/7 across global locations, supported by AI technology. The company understands the root causes of delays and has implemented an A2C (Aircraft-to-Component) process that allows for efficient operation and supply of components to MROs.
One of the major challenges in the aviation industry is ensuring on-time delivery. Thar Aviation’s AI tool enables customers to track components, with real-time transit time information, ensuring prompt delivery to their location.
Additionally, Thar Aviation’s logistics partner, FLY TXL, plays a key role in delivering components on time, further setting the company apart from its competitors.
By leveraging AI to analyse time spent on regular tasks, Thar Aviation has identified significant opportunities for reducing overall maintenance time. This optimization not only streamlines operations but also allows the company to reduce service prices. As a result, customers benefit from lowered overall costs, adding greater value to their experience.

Future Expansion into Cargo Airlines
“Quality first, profit second" is the company’s motto, and to support this, it regularly schedules inspections for ratables and components at MRO facilities. This ensures significant benefits for its customers, providing a seamless experience where they can get their aircraft ready to fly with just one click.
“We are on track to establish an aircraft fleet specifically for cargo airlines. We are in the process of launching our cargo airline through our sister company, FLY TXL. With background work already underway, we expect to have our own part 145 components repair shop by 2026. In the second half of 2027, we plan to launch our own cargo airline operations,” says Naveen Rajasekaran, Founder, Thar Aero Group.
