Aviation is a zero-error industry and flying is the safest means of transportation because we make it so. When it comes to aviation maintenance, perfection is not an abstract concept, it is a daily goal.
The MRO industry is more than workmanship, engineering, and quality material. The human element sets great shops apart: clear communication, innovative thinking, flexibility, and ethical principles.
The145 created Top Shop Awards in honor of shops that deliver more than technical expertise. We created these awards for companies that believe in:
- Quality of service
- Vision
- Exceptional turn-around times
- Competitive pricing and excellent customer relations
Top Shop Awards is 100% peer-driven and open to any repair center within the aviation community. No sign-up is required, and any professional within the industry can nominate a business.
Kudos to the 2026 Top Shop winners for their outstanding achievements and excellence.Justin Spaulding, The145
