Ascent Aviation Services, a leading provider of aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) services, concluded a successful showing at MRO Americas 2026 in Orlando, highlighting significant investments in infrastructure, evolving leadership, and a bold vision for future growth.
At the forefront of Ascent’s presence was the introduction of two new widebody hangars, a major expansion that enhances the company’s capacity to support next-generation aircraft and increasing global demand for heavy maintenance services. These state-of-the-art facilities significantly expand Ascent’s widebody capabilities, reinforcing its position as a premier MRO partner for commercial and cargo operators worldwide.
“Our investment in additional widebody capacity reflects both market demand and our long-term commitment to our customers,” said Dave Querio, President and CEO of Ascent Aviation Services. “These new hangars are not just about growth—they represent our continued focus on operational excellence, efficiency, and delivering high-quality maintenance solutions at scale.”
MRO Americas 2026 also served as a milestone moment for Ascent’s leadership team. The company announced the transition of long-tenured Chief Commercial Officer Scott Butler, whose years of dedication and leadership have played a critical role in shaping Ascent’s commercial strategy and customer relationships.
Building on that legacy, Ascent welcomed Scott Diaz as Senior Vice President of Sales & Marketing. Diaz brings a forward-looking approach to market expansion, customer engagement, and strategic growth initiatives.
“We are incredibly grateful for Scott Butler’s years of leadership and the strong foundation he helped build,” Querio added. “As we look ahead, Scott Diaz’s experience and vision will be instrumental as we expand our market presence and continue to evolve alongside our customers’ needs.”
In addition to its infrastructure and leadership updates, Ascent unveiled a new, modernized exhibit booth at MRO Americas, reflecting the company’s dynamic growth and renewed brand energy. The booth served as a hub for customer engagement, partnership discussions, and showcasing Ascent’s expanding portfolio of services.
