In the March issue of AviTrader MRO 360°, Craig Skilton, VP Components at APOC Aviation, shares his insights into changing trends in component management and the supply chain.
He emphasises that ongoing chain disruptions and rising costs are making USM a critical source of parts, and stresses the importance of choosing reliable, high-performing supply partners in a constrained market.
“At APOC, we see that industry sentiment is continuing to shift, and confidence in USM quality, traceability, and performance continues to grow. The expanding maturity of the aftermarket, coupled with a broader range of bespoke support services and tailored solutions, has positioned USM as not only a cost-effective option but often the most operationally efficient pathway for maintaining fleet availability and controlling lifecycle costs.”
“Given that many smaller MROs and operators operate with lean teams and limited procurement resources, the importance of selecting dependable, high-performing partners is critical, especially in today’s market with many suppliers to choose from.”
