Reheat International

What Reheat International does

Reheat International, operating as Reheat Aero, is a UK-based Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) specialist focused on aircraft galley equipment, cabin interior products, water and waste systems, and cockpit door security components. Founded in 1998 and headquartered in a 16,000 sq ft facility in Alton, Hampshire, the company operates as a CAA, FAA, EASA Part 145, and TCCA-approved repair station covering ATA Chapters 25 (Equipment/Furnishings), 38 (Water/Waste), and 52 (Cockpit Doors). It is an authorized repair and warranty station for eight major interior OEMs — Adams Rite Aerospace, Collins Aerospace, Safran, Goodrich Aerospace, Iacobucci, IPECO, JAMCO, and MAPCO — with capability across 2,500+ part numbers supporting Boeing, Airbus, Embraer, and Bombardier platforms.

The company generates revenue across five streams: component repair services (ad hoc time and materials, fixed pricing, or Rate per Flying Hour support agreements), new OEM parts sales, rotable sales/exchanges/loans, OEM sales and distribution partnerships for UK/European/Middle East markets, and consignment services for surplus galley equipment and teardown parts. Reheat sells primarily through a direct B2B sales motion targeting airlines, independent MRO providers, and OEMs, supplemented by ILS Marketplace listings for aftermarket parts visibility. Its go-to-market emphasizes vendor consolidation — positioning itself as a single qualified source for galley insert, water/waste, and cockpit security repairs.

Since June 2026, Reheat has operated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of SK AeroSafety Group, a diversified aviation MRO conglomerate (established 2002) with 16 service centers across Europe, North America, and Asia Pacific. The acquisition gave SK AeroSafety entry into ATA Chapters 25 and 38 MRO and expanded Reheat's reach into a global service network spanning brands such as AEOS, Aero Technics, Avia Technique, EMS France, Fire-Tec, Frontline, Hugen MfA, John Cameron Aviation, Meridian Technical Services, and SafeTech. The Reheat brand continues to operate independently within the group.

Broad incumbents

• AAR Corp: US-listed aviation aftermarket services provider with extensive component repair, parts supply and MRO capabilities including cabin interior services. Operates a global MRO network overlapping with Reheat's galley and interior component repair scope, but at substantially larger scale and broader capability.
• Lufthansa Technik: Major MRO division of the Lufthansa Group offering component MRO including cabin and galley equipment services to a global airline customer base. Comparable to Reheat in delivering interior component repairs and rotable management, but with significantly broader capability and footprint.
• Hong Kong Aircraft Engineering Company (HAECO): One of the world's largest independent MRO providers with cabin interior and component repair services across multiple ATA chapters. Overlaps with Reheat in component MRO but operates a much wider portfolio including base maintenance and engine services.
• SR Technics: Switzerland-based independent MRO provider offering component repair including cabin and interior equipment to commercial airlines. Competes with Reheat in the same niche component MRO space but at materially larger scale.
• Satair (Airbus aftermarket): Airbus-owned global aftermarket distributor and service provider offering parts, component repair services and integrated material solutions. Competes with Reheat on the parts supply and component repair side of the business with far broader OEM-backed reach.

Direct peers

• FL Technics: Lithuania-based independent MRO with component repair capabilities and line/base maintenance serving European and CIS operators. Comparable as a mid-sized independent MRO competing for airline component MRO work.

Regional players

• Marshall Aerospace: UK-based MRO provider with deep civil and military aviation maintenance heritage. Comparable in geographic base and aviation MRO credentials, but more focused on military, business aviation and airframe work than galley/cabin interiors.
