Aeropuerto Intercontinental de Querétaro (Querétaro Intercontinental Airport) QRO / MMQT

Confirmed via Menzies' own Queretaro (QRO) network page: operates a station at Queretaro Intercontinental Airport providing front-line above- and below-wing airport services (ramp and passenger/meet-and-assist handling) for narrow-body aircraft.

Confirmed via Universal Aviation's own MMQT location page: coordinates FBO/ground-handling support at Queretaro through local ground supervisory agents rather than an owned ramp operation, arranging parking and permits for business-aviation flights.

Confirmed via the company's own site: executive-aviation FBO based in Hangar 1 at Queretaro Intercontinental Airport, offering national and international handling with connectivity claimed to 500+ airports.

Confirmed via SAM's own Queretaro station page (which names D. Quintero as station chief at the contact address above): operates a ground-handling station at Queretaro Intercontinental Airport as part of its three-airport network alongside Monterrey and Guadalajara, describing Queretaro as a key base for the Bajio region.

AC-U-KWIK's MMQT directory listing for Menzies includes fuel among its offerings, but Menzies' own Queretaro page does not mention fuelling and the specific grade (Turbosina/Jet A-1 vs Avgas) is not independently confirmed.

Confirmed on the same page: explicitly advertises on-demand AOG and service-recovery support alongside its heavy-maintenance operations at the Queretaro facility.

Confirmed via MRO Holdings' own facility page: second-largest aircraft MRO base in Latin America, located adjacent to Queretaro Intercontinental Airport, operating five hangars with capacity for up to 22 narrow-body production lines performing heavy maintenance, engineering, and component/backshop work on Boeing, Embraer and Bombardier aircraft.

Component back-shops — TechOps MX's own facility page lists Components as a capability and states it operates component backshops offering a full range of component solutions, alongside its heavy-maintenance base adjacent to Queretaro International Airport (five hangars, up to 22 narrow-body production lines simultaneously, approx. 2,500 staff; second-largest maintenance base in Latin America). Certifications listed on the TechOps MX facility page itself: FAA (USA), AFAC (Mexico), ANAC (Brazil), AAC (Panama), plus AS9100 and SMS. IMPORTANT: the detailed ATA chapter catalogue (ATA 21, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 32, 33, 35, 38, 49, 52, 53, 55, 57, 71, 78) sits in a GROUP-level MRO Holdings components catalogue with no facility attribution, and the named backshop list published by the group (Structures, Composites, Seats, Heat Treatment, Welding, Machining, Inflatables, Air Conditioning, Avionics, Metrology) belongs to Aeroman in El Salvador, NOT to Queretaro. Do not attribute those shops or ATA codes to this station. Per-shop class ratings at Queretaro are unpublished — treat as unconfirmed. The email shown is MRO Holdings' group components contact, not a Queretaro-specific address.

Interior and avionics modification line — TechOps MX lists Interior & Avionics Modifications as a facility capability, covering cabin-refresh and IFE deployment programmes with in-house planning, production, supply chain and onsite engineering, plus removed cabin monuments, sidewalls, bins, closets and galleys handled off-aircraft during heavy checks. This is modification and installation work with associated bench support; a standalone avionics component test bench is NOT published for Queretaro (the group's avionics shop is listed under Aeroman). Class rating unconfirmed.

Structures and sheet-metal repair — airframe structural repair supporting heavy checks and modifications on narrow-body and regional jets, with published expertise across Boeing, Embraer and Bombardier types; TechOps MX lists Airframe Capabilities and Engineering on its facility page. Off-aircraft panel, fairing and control-surface sheet-metal repair is generated by the base maintenance workload. Note a dedicated composites shop is published for Aeroman El Salvador rather than Queretaro, so composite repair scope here is unconfirmed, as is the class rating.

Engine shop — Safran Aircraft Engines engine MRO in the Queretaro aerospace cluster next to QRO. Safran's Mexico country page confirms the Queretaro plant houses aircraft engine servicing and repair activities. Safran describes two engine maintenance shops on the site, one for CFM56 and a second for LEAP-1A/1B, supporting A320neo and 737 MAX operators across the Americas, plus an on-site training centre for inspectors and technicians. CAUTION: the widely quoted figures for this site — approx. 50,000 sq m, a 1 July 2026 inauguration of shop 2, a US$140m investment, up to 350 LEAP shop visits a year by 2030 and the claim that it is Safran's largest engine MRO site worldwide — could NOT be confirmed against a Safran press release; the Safran pressroom listing for July 2026 shows no Queretaro engine announcement. Treat those numbers as unverified vendor claims. OEM in-house shop; AFAC AMO class rating and FAA repair-station scope for this site unconfirmed.

Engine test cell — on-site engine test capability for post-overhaul acceptance runs of CFM56 and LEAP engines is part of the Queretaro engine servicing operation. The specific throughput target (around 350 engine tests a year by 2030) and the description of the cell as one of the world's most advanced are unverified vendor claims. Test-cell correlation and approval detail unconfirmed.

Engine component repair shop — turbine-hardware repair activity forming part of the Queretaro engine complex; Safran built local repair capability here from around 2016 for high-pressure turbine rings, HPT ring supports and low-pressure turbine nozzles. Note that Safran also runs separate Queretaro production plants for CFM56 critical parts and (with Albany) 3D-woven LEAP parts — those are manufacturing, not MRO, and should not be counted as repair capability. OEM repair authority; specific class rating and the current repair scheme list unconfirmed.

Landing gear overhaul shop — confirmed by Safran's Mexico country page, which lists two Queretaro landing gear sites, one of them dedicated to maintenance, repair and overhaul of landing gears (the other builds gear components and is not an MRO). Scope reported as nose and main gear overhaul for A300/A310, the A320 family and A330/A340 plus Boeing 737NG, Bombardier CRJ and Dash 8, with the full overhaul cycle run in-house (strip, inspection, repair, rebuild, test). The reported approx. 6,000 sq m extension to add A330neo and Boeing 787 gear, the 2010 start date and the approx. 375 headcount are vendor/press figures that were not independently confirmed. OEM (Safran Landing Systems) MRO station; AFAC AMO class rating and FAA repair-station scope for this station unconfirmed. Wheels and brakes are NOT overhauled here — Safran handles wheel and brake work at separate dedicated facilities (the specific US wheel-and-brake entity named in earlier drafts could not be verified and has been removed).

Hydraulic and mechanical equipment bench — bench repair and overhaul of landing gear hydraulic and mechanical components reported for the North American zone: steering systems including hydraulic blocks and distributors, uplocks, actuators, thrust-reverser actuation components and moto-pumps. Consistent with Safran Landing Systems equipment MRO practice but not separately confirmed for this site. OEM shop; class rating unconfirmed.

Landing gear inspection, NDT and strut servicing — inspection and non-destructive testing integrated into the complete gear overhaul cycle performed on site, including oleo/strut strip and rebuild. Not advertised as a standalone third-party NDT shop; specific NDT method approvals unconfirmed. Site is in the Parque Industrial Queretaro area of Santa Rosa Jauregui, Queretaro — the exact street address (Av. de la Noria 131, 76220) and the switchboard number (•••) quoted in earlier drafts could not be verified against a Safran source and have been removed from the contact block.

Confirmed on the same page: arranges in-flight catering through preferred partner Air Culinaire Worldwide for flights handled at MMQT.

Confirmed as Universal Aviation's named preferred partner for in-flight catering orders on flights handled at MMQT; not confirmed to maintain a dedicated on-site kitchen at Queretaro.
