”"A key factor airlines should consider when setting their long-term spare engine strategy is dispatch reliability and the ratio of spare engines to fleet size."

In the September edition of AviTrader MRO 360°, Walter Trujillo, Engine Technical Department at APOC Aviation, discusses spare engine management amid current supply chain pressure and extended shop visit TATs with David Dundas.
“A key factor airlines should consider when setting their long-term spare engine strategy is dispatch reliability and the ratio of spare engines to fleet size,” Trujillo explains. “It also needs to reflect the airline’s cash flow capacity, expected engine shop visit costs and type of contract – and so level of risk transfer – in place to manage shop visits.
“APOC can support operators with ‘green-time’ engine lease solutions, particularly when airlines are phasing out older engine types or transitioning from previous-generation technology to newer variants.”
