Airlines & Chartered (Non-Scheduled) Operators
Significant progress has been made in reducing non-fuel costs, improving the efficiency of fuel use & regular process improvement leveraging operational advantage, but the challenge is on-going and central to the future prosperity of the industry.
While airlines have made significant progress in restructuring their cost base, they are often faced with a moving target. Low barriers to entry combined with national or regional deregulation, have seen new or restructured no-frills, low-cost operators (LCCs) capture a fast-growing share of regional airline

Each year the aviation business spends huge amounts on MRO (Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul), second to fuel. The global MRO industry which was estimated at 45$ billion is expected to touch 61$ billion by 2017. While the industry is poised to grow, establishing and successfully running an MRO involves huge operational costs. It is imperative that in the interim, MRO service providers ready themselves to face a future, which is most likely characterised by capacity shortage and raising labour cost. While airline operators are primarily responsible for airworthiness of the aircraft, there is an increasing pressure on MRO service providers to maintain

Help your clients optimize their rotable repair cost & inventory levels without compromising customer service levels.Component maintenance & reliability majorly contribute to aircraft reliability. With global airlines trying to achieve and sustain at 95-98% dispatch reliability, component & engine MROs face the challenge of competitive TATs with no compromise on defect detection / fault isolation. Running a component MRO shop isn't simple, for instance engine MRO facilities under-take very challenging tasks. Their assembly & disassembly typically during a complete overhaul, is a task with high level of complication.

INDUSTRY
Every minute that a multi-million dollar piece of equipment isn’t functioning, impacts the bottomline
When an airline acquires a $200 million Boeing 787 or a $390 million Airbus A380, the goal is to keep that aircraft up and running for 18 hours a day and generating profitable revenue for as many years as possible. At the heart of that effort is the airlines' maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) organization, charged with handling both routine and non - routine issues to keep that fleet up and running.
Unfortunately, today's commercial airline MRO operations still have operational efficiency as a strong challenge before them Aircraft delays cost the industry $8.3 billion annually. Maintenance and other airline- controlled issues cause 42 percent of all delays in commercial airlines.
Total airline industry net profits of $36.3 billion with an average net profit margin of 5.1% is expected by IATA for 2016 in its latest outlook. The factors driving this outcome are, lower oil prices, efficiency gains by airlines, strong demand for passenger travel and improved economic performance in certain economies including the Eurozone.

Such service interruptions impact more than just the bottom line. Every passenger has an arsenal of war stories of being trapped on the tarmac due to a maintenance issue.
For such an industry, which incurs high capital expenses on assets, maximizing the lifetime return on those assets is critical. To maximize the returns, is vital to keep them operational. Though organizations posses the data that will help them achieve it, challenges that persists are: data not being structured & accessible, lack of good procedures & policies in place, selection of good comprehensive system which would make collaboration easier across all departments and avoid them from working as silos.
Here's how to do it.
Airlines & Chartered (Non-Scheduled) Operators
Airline being fixed cost intensive industry, cost & operational efficiency is critical for an airline's ability to compete & strive.Colossom using Ramco Aviaiton address the need of airlines (Scheduled, Non Scheduled & LCC's) to manage, improve and expand their business processes to maximize productivity at lower costs by improving visibility and control across departments. The pre-built solution focuses on enforcing discipline by channeling consistent information across business functions to help improve decision-making.
MRO
The global MRO industry which was estimated at 45$ billion is expected to touch 61$ billion by 2017. While the industry is poised to grow, establishing and successfully running an MRO involves huge operational costs. Aviation MRO remains a highly effort-intensive service business, sustaining on maintenance of aircraft. Additionally,OEM's are shifting their focus towards maintenance free machines. This helps operators and service providers to achieve zero inventory and shift to "Just In Time" strategy, imparting pressure on MRO's in providing aggressive TAT to their clients. Every single TAT violation adversely impacts the projected revenue. In such a scenario, investing in technology that leverages MRO's with higher automation of maintenance & repair processes seems to be a good bid. Ramco Aviation's M&E/MRO Solution for MROs coupled with Colossom's consulting team helps address the major challenges that Aviation MRO Industry faces.

 Drone collision threat is a top priority From January 2013 to June last year, 856 reports from seven official sources were found through IATA's research, with one suspected and one confirmed collision included. Almost 90% of reports were from North American sources. There was no link between the likelihood of a near collision and distance from the airport, and almost half of the |
 Industry outlook gets brighter for 2015 and 2016 It is estimated that $4 trillion to $5 trillion will be needed to buy the aircraft necessary for growth in the next 20 years. Most of these aircraft will serve the booming Asia-Pacific markets and other emerging economies. At the same time, it is estimated that 75% of the world's airlines are at least majority owned by the private sector. So, if airlines are to continue creating value for the global village, it is essential to make the sector attractive to the private investor who will provide the capital. At the moment, it isn't. Financially-speaking, it never has been. |
 Digital commerce and API first 2000 was designated "World Mathematical Year". But brilliant minds and complex equations probably wouldn't have been enough to determine the extraordinary figures seen in aviation in the decade since. Ten years ago, airlines were celebrating their seventh consecutive year of profitability. Although the gains were far from significant-in 2000 global industry gross profit was just over $10 billion on revenues of $328 billion-they were at least gains. Compare this with an overall deficit of nearly $50 billion since 2000. |
 Industry Data Global air travel rose 5.3% in June on international routes. The deceleration, compared with a strong result in May, was largely due to slower growth in Asia-Pacific as well as some holiday impacts in the Middle East. International air freight was sluggish, expanding just 1.4%. The June result confirms that growth in air freight volumes has slowed, which is consistent with declines in trade activity, mostly in emerging markets. |

 Aircraft Redelivery Optimization August 17, 2015 In an exclusive blog for MRO Network, Chris Spafford and Neil McConachie of consultancy Oliver Wyman discuss how airlines can best optimise redelivered aircraft on lease. As a result of the delivery surge in the early 1990s, airlines are expected to retire 8,220 aircraft over the next decade, according to data from CAVOK, up 50 percent from the last 10 years. Many of these aircraft are leased and carriers must prepare for redelivery to the lessor, which can be a costly process if not planned properly. For a number of airlines, that means tens of |
 Internet Of Aircraft Things: An Industry Set To Be Transformed Jan 18, 2016 Last year we saw the next generation of aircraft powered by the capabilities of Internet of Things (IoT) and Big Data hit scales that have never seen before.

 India's airlines may cut FY16 losses by up to 72%: CAPA January 21, 2016 India's airlines may cut their cumulative losses by up to 72% this financial year, as a decline in fuel prices and rise in demand help the carriers such as Air India to reduce individual losses and low fare carriers improve profitability, said CAPA-Centre for Aviation. The Sydney-based consultant said the country's carriers may at their best lose $350 million, down from $1.25 |
