Welcome to the official site of the annual 145 Top Shop Awards, arguably one of the most coveted aviation maintenance awards in the world. With a ten-year history, and over 200 awards presented, The145.com is pleased to host the awards since their inception in 2008. The 145's own President and CEO, Justin Spaulding, recounts how the awards began and where they are today.
"Ten years ago, when the 145 was still known as OneAero MRO, we wanted to do something that would recognize component repair facilities that work hard each and every day to rise above the status quo. After careful thought and consideration, we came up with the Top Shop Awards, an award designed to recognize repair centers that provide superior customer support, excellent turn-around-times, competitive repair pricing and innovative repair processes. We started with sixteen repair categories, today there are twenty-two. We're proud to host the awards each year and feel it an honor to reward and recognize those who continually strive to improve our industry."

Congratulations to this year's winners of the 2018 TOP SHOP AWARDS! The purpose of the awards is to recognize repair centers that provide superior customer support, excellent turn-around-times and competitive repair pricing. Only 21 out of over 500 repair centers listed on the database were selected to receive this award.
All winners of the Top Shop Awards were nominated, and ultimately selected, by their peers in the aviation industry. The145.com tabulated all nominations to create a "short list" of finalists. The Finalists list was then distributed to a panel of 40 airlines nad suppliers from around the world, that were ultimately responsible for selecting this year's winners.
This year the awards were presented during the MRO Americas trade show in Orlando, Florida.
