MRO Europe 2025 — Record-Breaking Edition in London
MRO Europe 2025 made a triumphant return to ExCeL London on October 14, 2025, delivering a record-breaking event with a 20% increase in attendance. The event brought together 11,331 industry professionals, including airlines, MROs, OEMs, lessors, suppliers, and consultants across three days combining a senior-level conference and an international exhibition.
With aftermarket demand booming, MRO Europe 2025 had little trouble packing out the vast halls of London's ExCeL center. More than 11,300 attendees, including 1,200 airlines and lessors, made it the largest MRO Europe on record — 20% bigger than the previous edition in Barcelona.
Among the 630 exhibitors were new faces like Executive Jet Support, a commercial aircraft parts provider investing in a stand for the first time. “It's been a great experience, great location, lots of traffic – there's so much engagement here,” commented Marc Browse, director of the company. Others are long-term fixtures, notably Jordan Airmotive, whose distinctive double-deck stand greeted entrants to the show. Chief Marketing Officer Tambi Varouqa said the company may go even bigger next year, citing strong opportunities for new business out of Europe.
Smaller exhibitors also enjoyed the show. “We've always found that there's a lot of foot traffic, regardless of the size of the booth,” said Chaz Bonner, a Marketing Executive for software company Tracware. Dutch maintenance company Samco was one of many to upgrade its presence this year, investing in a larger stand and heavier marketing. “People notice us, which is the result you want and indicates we'll do the same again next year,” said Marcel van Schaik, Sales Manager.
The show also featured a new Frequent Flyer Lounge, offering repeat attendees a chance to enjoy plush armchairs, quality coffee and free massages. Many exhibitors are already planning a return for MRO Europe 2026 in Amsterdam.
