Dépèche transmise le 29 avril 2010 par PRNewswire

LONDON, April 29, 2010 /PRNewswire/ -- The global economic slowdown in 2009 seriously affected the aviation industry and posed a challenge to fleet operators and other participants alike. As the industry slowly revives, cautious MRO (maintenance, repair and overhaul) service providers are jockeying for optimal positioning in the market through new business and operational models. From MRO service providers across the globe pursuing strategic tie-ups with OEMs to other 3rd party MRO providers considering innovative models to gain market share and reduce Aircraft on Ground (AOG) time, the industry is poised for a refinement on the MRO front with a significant influence of Parts Manufacturer Approval (PMA) parts in the future.

To analyse developments in this market, the Aerospace & Defence Group at Frost & Sullivan () is pleased to announce that it will be hosting an online analyst briefing presentation on Thursday, 6 May, 2010 at 3:00 pm BST.

Highlights of the briefing include analyses of emerging trends and new business models within the MRO space, discussion of the role of OEMs and 3rd party maintenance providers in shaping the MRO market, and an evaluation of revenue opportunities for market participants, including PMA parts manufacturers.

By discussing emerging trends and providing forward projections for the Global MRO industry with regard to upcoming business models, this briefing will benefit component manufacturers, distributors, OEMs, MRO providers (including 3rd party providers), PMA part manufacturers and fleet operators.

"Although market consolidation by OEM's is likely, existing MRO providers have to constantly innovate to provide qualitative services at competitive prices with the ultimate aim of decreasing AOG time. This will ultimately enable them in being future OEM certified allies for maintenance. In addition to this, with emerging business models aimed at shaping the MRO industry, an acceptance of new models will result in redefining the maintenance market," observes Research Analyst Gautam Ratan Kanal.
