What TMC Engine Center does

TMC Engine Center, Inc. is a privately-held, family-owned aircraft engine Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) facility incorporated in 2004 by founder Hanna Khoury and headquartered in Medley, Florida. The company operates from a nearly 40,000 sq/ft FAA and EASA Part-145 approved repair facility with over 20 engine-slot capacity and dedicated cells for Magnaflux, dimensional inspection, assembly, and non-destructive testing, plus a 10,000 sq/ft parts warehouse. TMC specializes in full repair and performance restoration of four narrow-body engine platforms: the V2500 (Airbus A320), CFM56-3 and CFM56-7B (Boeing 737 Classic and Next Generation), and JT8D (MD80 and legacy Boeing aircraft) series, and claims to be the world's only MRO with full restoration capability across all three major narrow-body engine families. Dual-release certification from both the FAA (Repair Station Z5LR447Y) and EASA (Approval 145.5678) enables service to both domestic Part 121 and international Part 129 and foreign operators.

The company's revenue model is diversified across six streams: direct engine sales (one-time), engine repair and performance restoration services (professional services), short-term rental and long-term engine leasing with financing (recurring/subscription), core exchanges and outright purchases (transaction-based), 24/7 AOG and on-wing field service (professional services), and parts and spare inventory sales. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with multi-year contractual management agreements in place with major airlines. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting major national and international airlines, leveraging direct relationships that eliminate broker middlemen, complemented by a Repair Management Program coordinating directly with OEMs and independent repair facilities.

TMC targets three primary customer segments: major national airlines operating under FAA Part 121 certification, major international airlines operating under Part 129 and foreign regulatory certifications, and narrow-body freighter operators. The company serves a global geographic footprint spanning North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East, leveraging its strategic location near Miami International Airport and logistics partnerships with major airlines, shipping lines, and bonded warehouses. Operational scale is modest at 11-50 employees, and the business has remained family-owned with no disclosed institutional investment, funding rounds, or acquisitions.
