Meeting the demands of an upcoming C-Check, whether it's scheduled or performed as part of a passenger-to-freighter conversion, puts strain on an operator’s maintenance department. AJW Group spoke with Freighter Trends about how we can ease the pressure.
The spike in demand impacts manpower availability to handle the surge in inventory demands and the quick repair turnarounds required to meet the maintenance facility's time frame. Adding to this complex, costly, and demanding period, the need to keep within tight financial budgets and source creative technical solutions that meet the engineering requirements, is key.
One solution is to allow the freighter converter or maintenance facility to handle all the inventory requirements. However, this can lead to inefficient solutions, loss of budget control, and unexpected ‘excluded item’ requirements which can freeze C-Check progress. There is another solution to help meet delivery timeframes and budgets and glean experienced technical advice with outstanding quality and reliability.
