It is certified by the European Aviation Safety Agency and the Federal Aviation Administration of the United States. The company operates worldwide. It is a subsidiary of Guangzhou Hangxin Aviation Technology.
Magnetic MRO was established in 1995 as a maintenance department of Estonian Air. In 2002, the maintenance department was separated from Estonian Air, and it became Maersk Air Maintenance Estonia, a company owned by Maersk Air. In 2003, the company was acquired by SAS Group. Accordingly, the company changed its name to Air Maintenance Estonia. In 2010, the company was bought by a private equity and venture capital investor Baltcap. In 2014, the company was renamed Magnetic MRO. One year later the company established a sales and engineering office in London, United Kingdom. In 2016, Magnetic MRO acquired a United Kingdom-based aircraft interior company MAC Interiors. In 2017, the Estonian business promotion agency Enterprise Estonia selected Magnetic MRO as the Company of the Year and Exporter of the Year. In 2018, Magnetic MRO was acquired by Guangzhou Hangxin Aviation Technology from BaltCap, a move consistent with Magnetic's desire to expand into the Chinese aviation market. Since February 2019, bonds of Magnetic MRO with a redemption date in December 2021 have been traded on the Nasdaq Tallinn exchange as part of the MTF First North list. Also in February 2019, MAC Interiors and Benniao Aviation created a joint venture MAC Sichuan to enter to the cabin redevelopment market in China.
