Airline MRO forever changed by pandemic

All sectors of the aviation industry have changed dramatically as a result of a global pandemic that has gone on far longer than anyone expected. Read More » The business of providing maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) services, either by original equipment manufacturers such as Boeing and Airbus or independent operators, is no exception. Lockdowns, travel restrictions and quarantine measures worldwide have played havoc with MRO operations, forcing them to innovate and fast. They have gone through a steep learning curve but it is one that will benefit them and their airline customers.

The pace of digitalization has been ramped up. MROs have discovered there are many processes that can be performed online and/or virtually. And while MROs will not reveal details of their financial dealings with customers, they have had to face a commercial landscape where customers have lost billions of dollars and are deep in debt from the pandemic.

MROs say they recognize the difficulties airlines are facing and are doing all they can to assist their customers. It is likely that probably has included allowing some of their customers to defer payments. Just as important, it has forced airlines into a more detailed assessment of their priorities - and decide what is necessary and what is not when it comes to maintenance of their fleets.

A good example of such adaption comes from MTU Maintenance Zhuhai. Because of the pandemic, a U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) inspector could not travel to China to conduct an audit on an overhauled engine. Instead, it was done online, an efficient and successful process that certainly saved money - and not least in time and travel costs.

To abate a concern that adopting virtual repair and maintenance practices might reduce aircraft and engine maintenance standards, MTU and its MRO peers stress that whatever they are doing on-line or virtually, the end result matches the high standards and product quality of pre-pandemic processes. Although it is a time of great upheaval, it is anticipated these changes in MRO processes will be a huge plus for carriers, whether in the Asia-Pacific or elsewhere. In theory, when the recovery takes hold, MRO advances in digitalization and a shift to online communications and virtual reality should bring cost efficiencies to the sector and, in turn, to airline costs. In other words, the cost efficiencies identified as a result of the pandemic will be completely integrated into the sector's standard operating practices.

THE ONLY TRUSTED AND GUARANTEED RECOVERY EXPERT TODAY (MR MORRIS GRAY) Please everyone should be careful and stop being deceived by all these brokers and account managers, they scammed me over $279,000 of my investment capital, they kept on requesting for extra funds before a withdrawal request can be accepted and processed, in the end, I lost all my money. All efforts to reach out to their customer support desk had declined, I found it very hard to move on. God so kind I followed a broadcast that teaches on how scammed victims can recover their fund, I contacted MORRISGRAY830@GMAIL. COM , the email provided for consultation, I got feedback after some hours and I was asked to provide all legal details concerning my investment, I did exactly what they instructed me to do without delay, to my greatest surprise I was able to recover my money back including my profit which my capital generated. I said I will not hold this to myself but share it to the public so that all scammed victims can get their funds back. Contact; MORRISGRAY830@GMAIL,COM...

I wanted an approval for a car but I had a fico score of 492 Equifax, 546 TransUnion, 559 Experian. The only reason my Equifax is so low is because of the PPP loan being on it and exactly my fears the dealership singled it out and refused to approve my request. The dealer rather advises me to work with PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST if I desire to fix my credit report. I immediately contacted via email: pinnaclecreditspecialist@gmail.com and explained all my challenges, he assured to raise my score and clear the loans including the credit card debts which he did perfectly in less than 4 days, which is an amazing job to me and I confirmed it when I returned to the same place I was denied earlier and after the dealer pulled my report I was approved of a car with a very low interest rate. All thanks to PINNACLE CREDIT SPECIALIST. I now have an excellent credit score of 801 Equifax, 809 TransUnion, 811 Experian and a clean credit report. You can contact them via email or reach them phone +1 (585) 466 4373 for quick and reliable credit fix, Chex system and DUI2020. Cheers and don’t forget to let them know I referred you.

HACK VANISH Credit specialist did it for me. Before the coronavirus pandemic, I had criminal Judgments, few evictions, and missed / late payment which negatively impacted my credit score down to 487 and left me in difficult financial situation, as a single mum of 3, I needed a loan to keep the family running after I lost my husband as a result of COVID-19, all hope were lost, until Mr. Kannan and Olivia reassured and referred me to HACK VANISH, a credit genius who was very helpful in fixing my report after I reached out to him via: +1(650) 499 5548 and Email: hackvanish (At) gmail (Dot) com, I carefully followed his protocols, throughout the process which lasted for about 6 days, I felt so involved because he maintained an open line of communication till I got my score back to 796, currently my loan application has been approved, I can now give my kids better life. If you need to hire a hacker, HACK VANISH is highly recommended.
