Customer and market needs for used serviceable material - USM
As fleets age, it becomes more difficult for operators and maintainers to obtain the parts they need in the marketplace. This is often because shifts in production to support newer models results in limited availability of spare parts. There is a growing demand for production spares, repairs and asset management throughout the entire aircraft life cycle, from the first flight to retirement. Operators are looking for improved dispatch reliability and increased fleet utilization with minimal capital investment and down time. Used serviceable materials are understood to be a successful way to achieve these objectives.
