Strategic Exits for Aviation Operators Who’ve Built Real Infrastructure

Whether you operate a Fixed Base Operation, Part 135 charter company, Part 145 MRO, flight school, or parts distribution business, you know the aviation sector doesn’t operate on guesswork. Neither should your exit.

Axio Bridge specializes in guiding owner-led aviation service companies through high-stakes M&A — with precision, discretion, and process rigor that reflects the value you’ve built.

2025 Aviation M&A Market Outlook

  • ✈️ FBOs: Premium locations with hangar space and fuel flowage rights continue to attract strategic roll-ups and PE-backed platforms.
  • 🛠 MROs: Line maintenance, heavy checks, and parts providers with strong compliance records and airline contracts are closing fast.
  • 🚁 Charter Operators: Part 135 companies with clean D085 rosters and utilization discipline are commanding strong multiples.
  • 🎓 Flight Schools: FAA-accredited schools with Part 141/61 certification and commercial pilot pipelines are now attractive bolt-ons.
  • 🔩 Parts Distributors: FAA/EASA-certified inventory and OEM relationships continue to drive buyer interest.
