In 2019, two separate aviation companies, both operating at at Locarno airport, namely RUAG Switzerland SA, a technology group owned by the Swiss Confederation, and Aero Locarno SA, an established flight school, decided to develop a synergy to bring their expertise in general aviation maintenance under one roof. RUAG has sold its business sector present in Locarno to Aero Locarno, which with the participation of other local investors has thus founded "AeLo Maintenance", whose name represents the abbreviation of Aero Locarno Maintenance.

AeLo Maintenance is a public limited company owned by Aero Locarno, a flight school that has been operating at Locarno airport for more than 30 years, Swiss Aerostructures, a company that operates in the repair and structural modification of various aeronautical sectors, and Valerio Caroni, former Maintenance Manager at the Locarno site of RUAG Aviation and now General Manager of AeLo Maintenance.
