AIROD is a Malaysian aerospace company engaged in providing aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services. The name "AIROD" is an acronym that stands for "Aircraft Inspection, Repair & Overhaul Depot". It was established in 1976 as the first and only in-country facility to support the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) aircraft.

In 1985, AIROD was privatised as a joint-venture company between Malaysia's National Aerospace & Defence Industries Bhd (NADI) and Lockheed Aircraft Systems International (LASI) of the USA.

Today, AIROD is a fully Malaysian-owned company under the NADI group of companies and is a leading MRO facility providing services to regional and global customers in the southeast Asian region.
