COOPESA

COOPESA R.L. (Cooperativa Autogestionaria de Servicios Aeroindustriales) is an independent airframe maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) provider based in Costa Rica. Operating as a self-managed cooperative, it occupies a specific position in the commercial aviation aftermarket, providing heavy maintenance, structural repairs, and major modifications for narrow-body aircraft. The organisation serves as a regional service hub for international leasing companies and commercial airlines operating within the Americas. The organisation is a certified Boeing GoldCare partner and functions as a major site for Passenger-to-Freighter (P2F) conversions. Its primary expertise centres on the Boeing 737 family, including the Classic, Next Generation, and MAX variants, as well as the Airbus A320 family. Key customers include global aircraft lessors and major North American carriers who outsource C and D checks to the facility to leverage its geographic proximity and specialised narrow-body production lines. Prospective partners should verify the organisation’s current FAA and EASA Part-145 certifications relevant to specific airframe types. It is necessary to confirm the availability of hangar slots, as the facility often operates at high capacity due to long-term conversion contracts. Buyers should also evaluate the specific terms of the cooperative model regarding operational governance and long-term project stability.
