What exactly is An Inflatable Shelter? 25/11/2025

Aircraft don’t wait for perfect weather.
And when maintenance needs to happen right now, you need a solution that keeps your team safe and productive, no matter the conditions.

That’s why Inflatable Aircraft Shelters are becoming essential for modern MRO and AOG teams. They create a protected workspace in minutes and help reduce costly downtime on the apron.

At JB Roche, we see the same real-world challenges every day:

✈️ Aircraft parked on remote stands
✈️ Hangars full during busy operations
✈️ Repairs that can’t be delayed
✈️ Teams working around the clock to get an aircraft flying again

This is exactly where an inflatable shelter makes a difference.

✔ Rapid deployment in a few hours
✔ Fully portable and reusable across bases
✔ No cranes or heavy equipment needed
✔ Safe, controlled environment in wind, rain, snow or desert heat
✔ Perfect for engine changes, wing repairs, composite work, cabin tasks and more

Our IglooMX® shelters are built specifically for aviation.
They’ve supported operations from extreme cold in Alaska to high temperatures in the Middle East, helping airlines, MROs and defence teams work safely and efficiently anywhere in the world.

When hangar space isn’t available.
When the weather slows everything down.
When the operation can’t wait.
An inflatable shelter becomes the fastest and most reliable option on the apron.

If you’d like to see how these shelters could support your operation, we’re happy to share examples, specs or case studies.

❄️✈️ Engine Change, Simplified.

Back in 2021, an engine change had to be performed on a Polar Cargo Boeing 747 in extreme winter conditions at Ted Stevens International Airport, Anchorage.

The Atlas Air maintenance team deployed our IglooMX® inflatable shelter — creating a controlled, weather-protected workspace in just minutes:
1️⃣ Remove from the storage bag
2️⃣ Unroll
3️⃣ Inflate
4️⃣ Position
5️⃣ Secure

From bag to fully operational, IglooMX® ensures that AOG operations can continue safely and efficiently — no matter the climate.
