Third-party MROs are reaping the benefits as older aircraft retirement is delayed—providing them the ability to maintain their revenue streams for specific areas of expertise that don’t appear to be going away anytime soon—but this is a false hope. The new aircraft slated to come on line over the next 10 years are made from new materials, feature new technologies, and provide a sea of data on their health. All created for the benefit of OEMs and Owner/Operators—meaning less maintenance dollars will be left over for some for some regional, niche third-party MROs—ultimately putting them out of business.

So what are third-party MROs to do? Those that want to compete and work collaboratively with Owner/Operators and OEMs, need to invest now in people, process, and technology or they will find that they are out of business within the next 10 years. During this presentation you will learn the path to follow to compete for your share of the maintenance market while gaining the competitive edge needed to provide the level of service that the next generation of aircraft deserves.

Third-party MROs primary focus has been growing their business on previous generations of aircraft. To do this they worked with IT solution vendors who provided purpose-built software and processes. When applying legacy IT solutions to next generation aircraft, increased regulations and new more stringent customer requirements, organizations quickly find their existing solutions lacking when it comes to effective maintenance.

You must be prepared and look toward maintaining new generations of aircraft—this requires a new generation of MRO solution. Delaying the investment in a purpose-built MRO solution that can align with next generation of aircraft will affect the viability of an organization and result in higher internal costs, delayed delivery to promise dates, customer dissatisfaction, lower operating incomes, and loss of market share.

During this presentation you will learn how Aras Corporation is building the future MRO software platform that will not only provide robust MRO logic that supports your business needs, but allows your company to develop applications that that meet the requirements of the shifting MRO Aviation landscape and give your company a commercial advantage over your competition, without the need to invest in different software.
