The popularity of single-aisle aircraft

requires modernization of the air fleet

Over the past few years, the global aviation industry has demonstrated impressive growth and, naturally, contributed to the development of the aircraft maintenance market. According to the forecasts of TeamSAI in 2014, the world market of MRO will be about 60 billion dollars and by 2024 will reach the volume of about 90 billion dollars. Of the total amount of funds in the amount of 18 billion dollars used for aircraft maintenance, about 9 billion dollars account for the maintenance of narrow-bodied airplanes. However, according to forecasts of a number of experts, there has been a steady trend recently aimed at the growth of services and the modernization of the air fleet.

The prospects for recovery of the aviation industry around the world, contribute to the development and modernization of the fleet in 2014 year.

This is due to the growing need to increase competitiveness at the expense of the business combination, the use on board the aircraft entertainment system and mobile communication Wi-Fi. In addition, operators are looking to reduce operating costs associated with the servicing of aircraft. In the design and development of new aircraft began to use more composite materials, which provides a significant reduction in the weight of the aircraft. There is a replacement of engines on more energy-efficient models to save fuel in the amount of 10-15%.

The modernization of the air fleet involves many regional companies. For example, Timco, opened a new service center for brands such planes as Embraer CRJ 145, Embraer E 170 /E 190, Bombardier CRJ 200/700/900With an emphasis on reconstruction and modernization. Significantly expanded the program to modernize the aircraft fleet, if you previously performed the same type of aircraft modernization, but now the program includes several different types of aircraft.
