Dexter, Michigan-based third-party maintenance network operator MRO Insider has established a team of 15 technicians and a dedicated group leader (DGL) for Asia, where some 1,240 business jets operate within the region—6 percent of the worldwide fleet.
The corporate’s DGL coordinates the logistics of technical travel for maintenance crews and experts, facilitates the import and receipt of U.S.-made parts, and manages and updates service time frames.
“With the Asian business aviation market continuing to grow, our team is worked up to announce the AOG and scheduled maintenance support throughout the region,” said MRO Insider president Andy Nixon. “This market can also be dominated by large cabin aircraft, so it’s a win-win for operators flying over to the U.S. and needing support while here.”
Forecasters project the delivery of 460 recent private aircraft in Asia from 2022 to 2028 and a doubling of the fleet size in the following decade. Large jets will account for 52 percent of the market share, added MRO Insider.
“With the fleet size in Asia expected to double in the following decade, a strategic expansion into Asia aligns with these market dynamics, positioning us to cater to the evolving needs on this thriving sector,” concluded Nixon.
