Olivier Andries, Safran’s chief executive, said demand for engine shop visits is greater than the maintenance capacity available to handle them, according to FlightGlobal. The publication described shop visits as plateauing while aftermarket activity maintains a solid trend.
Key details
FlightGlobal attributed Safran’s aftermarket outlook in part to low aircraft retirement rates and extensive maintenance work scopes. Safran expects aftermarket activity to remain strong, according to the publication.
Olivier Andries said demand for engine shop visits exceeds available maintenance capacity.
Why it matters
For airlines and other operators, a gap between demand for engine maintenance and available capacity can affect access to shop visits. Safran’s outlook also points to continued aftermarket work as aircraft remain in service and require extensive maintenance.
What happens next
No further timeline was announced.
