MRO Americas 2025: Collaborating with Cabin Aero

The MRO Americas conference, held April 8-10, 2025, at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, GA, was a cornerstone event for the aviation maintenance, repair, and overhaul industry. At WTP Advisors, we—Brian Schwam and Jim Fyrie—were thrilled to attend this premier gathering, connecting with industry professionals and sharing our expertise in Transfer Pricing and IC-DISC. One of our most engaging interactions was with Jared Chambliss, Operations Manager at Cabin Aero, LLC, whose business card we collected during the conference. Cabin Aero, based in Norcross, GA, specializes in precision PMA (Parts Manufacturer Approval) solutions for aircraft interiors, aiming for a “Smarter Sky,” as their slogan suggests. Meeting Jared Chambliss at MRO Americas was a fantastic opportunity, especially given their proximity to Atlanta and their focus on aviation innovation. Jim Fyrie kicked off our conversation, introducing WTP Advisors’ Transfer Pricing services, which help companies like Cabin Aero manage their intercompany transactions across global markets with compliance and efficiency. Jared shared that Cabin Aero often collaborates with international partners to supply PMA parts, making financial compliance a critical focus. Brian Schwam explained how our Transfer Pricing strategies ensure that cross-border transactions are priced appropriately, aligning with global tax regulations while optimizing profitability. For a company like Cabin Aero, which likely engages in global supply chains, Transfer Pricing can streamline operations and mitigate risks. Jared appreciated the relevance of Transfer Pricing to their business, noting that their international growth had increased the complexity of their financial operations. Our discussion then shifted to tax optimization, where WTP Advisors’ IC-DISC services proved highly relevant. Jim Fyrie highlighted how an IC-DISC (Interest Charge-Domestic International Sales Corporation) can help Cabin Aero lower their tax liability on export income. With their PMA solutions likely being exported to aviation firms worldwide, an IC-DISC could provide significant tax savings, allowing them to reinvest in innovation and growth. Jared was intrigued, recognizing the potential of IC-DISC to support their export-focused business model. At MRO Americas, we also explored the aviation industry’s demand for innovative interior solutions, a topic Jared was passionate about. Cabin Aero’s focus on precision PMA parts underscored the importance of financial efficiency in their operations. Brian Schwam emphasized how Transfer Pricing could support their supply chain by ensuring compliance and aligning pricing strategies with business goals. Jared noted that maintaining cost efficiency while scaling globally was a priority, and our insights offered a clear path forward. The Atlanta conference provided the ideal setting for this exchange, fostering connections that could lead to meaningful partnerships. We discussed Cabin Aero’s vision for the future, including their focus on expanding their global presence in the aviation sector. Jared’s goals aligned well with WTP Advisors’ mission to empower aviation businesses through financial clarity, and we left the conversation excited about the potential to collaborate. Reflecting on our time at MRO Americas, we’re eager to explore how we can support Cabin Aero’s ambitions.
