Understanding the Importance of Aviation Maintenance Management

The aviation industry is growing at a considerable rate, which is positive for all stakeholders to service providers. Aircraft owners need to focus on finding the right service providers to ensure the efficient operation of their valuable assets.

The smooth functioning of the industry depends on efficient services in segments like FBO, Aircraft Charter Management and MRO or Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul.

In this blog, we will discuss why managing the maintenance and repair function is critical to the success of a general aviation aircraft owner, whether they are a single owner or a corporate flight department.

The Need for MRO management Services:

Professional Aviation MRO Management Services are critical to the aircraft owner irrespective of the facilities, location and services offered at an airport. The quality of aviation maintenance and repair determines whether or not you have an efficient transportation asset.

While this has long been the case with commercial carriers, many general aviation aircraft owners now also outsource the management of their maintenance function.

Professional aviation management companies have the necessary operational expertise and experience efficiently plan and manage every type of repair and maintenance service, whether preventative or emergent.

These services are quite critical as projecting and managing the maintenance schedules determine the smooth functioning and operation of the aircraft, whether it is exclusively Part 91 for the owner’s use or part of a revenue generating charter business.

With the increasing operational demands of general aviation today, professional MRO management companies are more relevant than ever and extremely necessary to keep aircraft utilization high and downtime low.

Due to the fragmented market aviation maintenance repair service providers grow, the need for professional management services that can drive the most value per maintenance event is key to mining maintenance costs over the aircraft lifecycle.

At Global Aviation Infrastructure LLC, we focus maintenance management on cost, quality and minimizing the downtime.

Airport Facility Management Services - Key Areas to Address

Airport facility management services are in demand from aviation asset owners with airport holdings, both infrastructure and service related. These services are highly sought from firms with direct airport management experience.

What Are The Most Important Aspects?

Airport management and integrated services are all about a specific and pre-defined set of requirements which are provided by an experienced management company on behalf of an asset owner.  The aviation asset owner may be a public entity such as a municipality or authority or it may be a private entity with institutional capital such as an alternative asset manager or family office. The breadth of services can vary greatly from turnkey complete airport management to specialized services based on specific facilities such as terminals (commercial and general aviation), hangars, or on-airport services such as FBO, MRO and ACM services.

The management services are required at both general aviation and commercial airports and airports of varying sizes from regional reliever airports to international hubs. The specialized companies performing these services may also be responsible for various support services such as terminal management, aircraft ground handling and facility maintenance.

They may specialize in different aspects of the airport experience from core infrastructure to on-airport services. Some airport facility management services are provided through engagements directly with the airport sponsors whereas others are engaged by other asset owners like institutional capital firms, airport tenants etc.

The Need for Specialized Services

Most of the requirements mentioned above require a great deal of experience and a proven track record in aviation and airport management. Companies that are involved in general facility management in other industries often do not the regulatory requirements and vagaries associated with the aviation industry.

The most critical item for an aviation management firm is bringing experienced human capital to the project. An experienced aviation management team can efficiently transform operations without the time and expense of a steep learning curve.

There are companies which have the requisite depth and breadth of experience and capabilities to provide all potential services which may be needed whereas others may be limited to certain specialized services. Regardless, they should have a proven track record providing comparable services at similar size airports.
