About This Podcast
In this episode of Open Skies, host Chris Glass welcomes Monica Badra, founder of Aero Next Gen, a trailblazing tech broker bringing digital transformation to the aviation maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) space. With a unique background in finance and deep hands-on experience in aerospace, Monica has become the go-to matchmaker connecting legacy aviation problems with next-gen tech solutions.
She shares how her company bridges the gap between overwhelmed MRO executives and tech providers—many of whom don’t even come from aviation. Monica explains how dirty data, siloed systems, and decades-old ERPs are holding companies back, and how automation, AI, and tools like co-pilot-style analytics are helping the industry catch up to the modern world.
This is a must-listen for MRO leaders, aviation execs, tech startups, and anyone wondering why it still takes 12 weeks to make a decision that should take 12 minutes.
