Mercer Study Reveals Growth Opportunities in Airline Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul
"The worldwide commercial aircraft MRO market is reportedly estimated at around $37 billion annually, with as much as half of all U.S. carriers' MRO work now performed by outside vendors here and overseas. "
"Carriers that have traditionally "insourced" maintenance are refocusing themselves on core competencies and sending non-core work to third-party providers." Competencies??? :blink:
"Airline executives surveyed by Mercer confirmed the optimism displayed by MRO providers. Nearly all intend to increase outsourcing or keep it constant. Contrary to quality concerns that may have held back outsourcing growth in the past, most of the airline executives reported that outsourcing resulted in increased quality or the same level of quality. Only a few reported a decrease in quality."
For those of us furloughed from maintenance, I guess it's time to go back to school.
