Sanad Engine Inductions Surge 43% to 230 Units in 2025 — Global MRO Capacity Structural Shortage Persists
●Atlantic Aviation●CEO Mansoor
Analysis
★★ KG event + news corroborated. Per Aviation Week, Abu Dhabi Mubadala's Sanad Group achieved record 2025 revenue with full-year engine inductions of ~230 — up ~43% vs. 2024's 161. CEO Mansoor Janahi stated global engine MRO capacity remains in structural shortage. Although Sanad's core is commercial aviation engine MRO with business jet engine repair share undisclosed, the global MRO capacity bottleneck equally affects business jet engine maintenance cycles and costs. For business jet operators, engine repair scheduling extensions and cost increases are persistent operational risks — pre-planning maintenance windows and spare engine strategy is needed.
