Case Study - Tear Down
The following case study gives you an insight into the hidden costs of potential impact to your commercial planning when the aircraft asset is at the final phase of its career with the Operator or Lessor.
Two A330 aircraft sold to the specialist lessor, however the original aircraft operator wanted to retain a series of spares. These included the engines and all cowls, landing gears, IFE and some hydraulic components. So basically the more profitable items in any aircraft being harvested.
However we engaged the tear down organisation to remove every serialised item we could retrieve. This cost the new owners 350K USD including the additional work.
The Lessor engaged a consignment stock specialist company and they managed the sales of components. By the end of 24 months after dismantling the return on the sales of spares was 1.9M USD.
AAME offer a one stop shop for this process, we have strategic partnerships for the dismantling of aircraft, the harvesting of aircraft spares and the onward marketing and subsequent spares and metals and materials.
We also offer a unique point that no one else will entertain. A partnership in profit with the asset owner. Shares of profit from all elements of the tear down and sales. At a time when the asset has been given up for a right off we can deliver revenue to the Asset Owner.
Consultancy Case Study - Cost of paper.
The following case study gives you an insight into the hidden costs of Aircraft Records and the potential impact to your commercial planning.
The airline was entering into a phase of Aircraft returns - luckily for them the lessor and the surveyors where supportive.
During the records survey the lessor raised over 1850 findings against the records. Time to resolution of the finding was 4.5 hours. The technical level required to resolve the finding was found to be LAE level as the issues in many cases required engineering background to resolve. The man-hour rates for engineers in Europe at that time was USD60.
This equated to a man-hour total of 8,325 man-hours. This is 501,120USD in wasted engineering effort on every aircraft on every EOL. If this problem creates a delay then you can add the penalty clause per day.
When you have the correct paperwork processing systems in place, the clearance time at the end of lease is an average of 1 hour per query.
When you get your engineering paperwork processes working correctly the error rate will come down to under 300 findings per EOL event. Every consultant has to find something!
A review of your records and planning systems can save your company millions over the lease life of your fleet. The savings can be realised in maintenance, material and end of lease costs.
AAME can deliver these savings to you.
