In the September MRO X Edition of Freighter Trends, Ian Foster, VP MRO & Technical at APOC, discusses the growing demand for component MRO in 2026 as operators seek cost-effective and readily available alternatives to new parts.
“With ongoing manufacturing delays and supply chain disruptions driving up both prices and lead times for new components, USM is increasingly positioned as a cost-effective, operationally efficient solution for maintaining fleet availability and controlling lifecycle costs.
“As industry confidence in USM quality, traceability and performance continues to grow, APOC is well equipped to meet this demand, holding a comprehensive inventory of components in AR and SV condition to deliver high-quality, cost-effective solutions across every major narrowbody and widebody platform.”
