Direct peers

• Avports: Avports is a US-based private operator that manages general aviation and municipal airports on behalf of public owners under long-term contracts. It is the closest functional peer to Aéropro's airport-management line of business, particularly for outsourced operation of smaller federal/state/municipal airports.
• AvAirPros: AvAirPros provides airport management, operations, and consulting services to airports and aviation authorities, including interim executive and operational staffing. It directly mirrors Aéropro's outsourced airport-operations model and contract-based revenue approach.
• Signature Flight Support: Signature operates a global network of fixed-base operator (FBO) facilities offering fueling, line services, and aircraft handling at airports, often on behalf of airport authorities. It is a direct comparable to Aéropro's combination of airport services, aircraft servicing, and fuel/de-icing through Pétro Air Services.
• StandardAero: StandardAero is a North American aircraft MRO provider with major Canadian operations, offering maintenance, repair, overhaul, and avionics services. It is the most direct scaled peer to Aéropro's Saint-Jean Chrysostome aircraft maintenance and avionics service line.
• Atlantic Aviation: Atlantic Aviation is a US-based FBO chain providing fueling, ground handling, and aircraft line services at regional airports. Its model of providing turnkey airport services to general-aviation and regional airports aligns closely with Aéropro's multi-service Quebec model.

Regional players

• Aéroports de Montréal (ADM): ADM operates Montréal-Trudeau and Montréal-Mirabel and is a Quebec-based airport operator with regulatory and operational depth. While larger and focused on major hubs, ADM is the most regionally relevant comparison for Aéropro's Quebec operations and Quebec regulatory expertise.

Broad incumbents

• Serco Group: Serco is a global services firm that operates and manages airports, air traffic support, and aviation-related public services under long-term government contracts. It is the dominant scaled incumbent competing for the same outsourced airport-management mandates Aéropro targets.
• Menzies Aviation: Menzies is a global aviation services group providing ground handling, fueling, and airport operations across 200+ airports. Its multi-disciplinary airport services portfolio overlaps Aéropro's airport management and Pétro Air Services fueling/de-icing lines, making it a broad-incumbent peer for scaling comparisons.
• Swissport International: Swissport is the world's largest airport ground-services and air cargo handler, offering fueling, de-icing, and terminal operations at airports globally. It is a relevant scaled comparison for Aéropro's and Pétro Air Services' airside services, though it does not typically outsource-manage whole small airports.
• Airservices Australia: Airservices Australia provides air navigation, aviation rescue, and airport-related infrastructure management across Australia. While government-owned, it is a relevant comparator for the scale and complexity of managing aviation infrastructure across multiple sites, similar to Aéropro's role in Quebec.
