The Importance of Spare Engines – to Lease or to Own?
- Don Nunemaker, President, Willis Lease Finance Corporation
Repairing rather than replacing engines is key in increasing on wing time, optimising work scopes and consequently reducing MRO costs. Spare engines are essential in making this philosophy a success.

In addition, outside of the more traditional markets, engine MRO spend is forecasted to dramatically increase in Asia, impacting on capacity worldwide. How is Turkey developing its engine MRO industry to handle these challenges? What is the strategic rationale behind this expansion? What opportunities can be capitalised on? An analysis of market developments in this region. |
