Aircraft Maintenance & Line Support

What Aircraft Maintenance & Line Support does

Aircraft Maintenance & Line Support S.L. (AMLS) is a privately held Spanish aviation maintenance organization founded in 2005 and headquartered at the Barajas Airport industrial zone in Madrid. The company holds EASA Part-145 certification (ES.145.160) and was among the first European Independent Maintenance Providers to receive that approval. AMLS delivers line maintenance services up to C-check level on commercial aircraft, 24/7 Aircraft-on-Ground (AOG) recovery, structural repairs (sheet metal and paint), and cabin interior maintenance. Its capability coverage spans Airbus A319/A320/A321 CEO and NEO, A330, A340, and A350 wide-bodies, and Boeing 737 Classic, NG, NEO, and MAX narrow-bodies.

The company operates a network of 14 line-maintenance bases across nine countries — Spain (Madrid, Barcelona, Zaragoza), Algeria (Algiers), Colombia (Cali, Bogota, Cartagena), Peru (Lima), Senegal (Dakar), Argentina (Buenos Aires), Venezuela (Caracas), and Mexico (Mexico City at both MEX and NLU). Cabin interior services are delivered through a strategic partnership with sister company Aircraft Interior Support, allowing AMLS to offer bundled maintenance and interior reconfiguration under a single commercial relationship.

AMLS generates revenue through multi-year service contracts with commercial airlines and aircraft operators, billed on a competitive, customized pricing scheme rather than standardized tiers. Line maintenance acts as the recurring revenue base, while AOG recovery and structural/interior work contribute professional-services revenue tied to events and damage events. The company sells direct via enterprise field sales, establishing maintenance presence at customer-operated bases and standing up new stations as airline routes expand. Headcount is reported at 11-50 employees, consistent with a lean independent provider that leverages a wide physical footprint.
