Gilles Fossecave, CEO of the MRO division of Vallair features in the July issue of AviTrader Aviation News, discussing how best to prepare for the narrow-body heavy maintenance season and sharing how Vallair navigate the industry to tackle the unique challenges the MRO sector faces. Fossecave comments "Regular 'intermediate checks' with smaller work packages can help reduce the downtime of narrow-body aircraft, however, the effectiveness of this solution depends on the age of the aircraft. For instance, if an aircraft has structural damage due to corrosion, a shorter turnaround time may not be feasible. in such cases, more time may be necessary to ensure the aircraft is still released on time."

In January, a door plug issue on an Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 9 led to increased scrutiny and a second grounding order from the FAA. This situation prompted Boeing to address the problem and improve their safety and quality practices. Boeing has developed a comprehensive Product Safety and Quality Plan to tackle these challenges. Key actions in the plan include: 1. Enhanced Safety Management System (SMS): Boeing is improving its safety reporting system and ensuring all work is completed before moving aircraft to the next production stage. 2. Simplified Processes: The company is streamlining its procedures to make them clearer and easier to follow. 3. Better Supply Chain Oversight: Boeing is intensifying its monitoring of suppliers to ensure parts meet safety standards. 4. Expanded Training: Additional training is being provided to new and existing employees to boost their skills and knowledge. 5. Improved Production Compliance: Boeing is focusing on key areas like debris control and adherence to work instructions, with enhanced daily reviews and audits. 6. Increased Employee Engagement: Boeing is fostering a stronger safety culture through regular quality reviews and involvement teams. 7. Refined Installation Instructions: The company is simplifying complex work instructions to improve safety and clarity. The FAA has reviewed Boeing’s new plan and expressed confidence in the company's commitment to safety. Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg has decided to work from Seattle to stay close to production and development efforts. These steps position Boeing to enhance its safety practices and restore its reputation in aviation. #aviation #aircraft #boeing #airbus #mro #airline #overhaul #FrontierAirlines #TravelDeals #AviationNews #AirlineIndustry #TravelMore #FlightDeals #LowCostTravel #ExploreMore #MRO #Wanderlust #CheapFlights #EngineAviation #BusinessTravel #VacationMode #Traveling #AirportLife #JetSetter

Addressing the Aviation Maintenance Technician Shortage: A Crucial Step for the Industry’s Future The aviation sector is on the road to recovery post-pandemic, but a significant challenge persists: a shortage of aviation maintenance technicians (AMTs). Current estimates suggest a shortfall of 12,000 to 18,000 AMTs, which could persist or even worsen over the next decade. Factors like an aging workforce, low career uptake, and rising passenger demand (IATA predicts 8.2 billion passengers by 2037) are contributing to this gap. Boeing’s 2021 Commercial Market Outlook indicates that 610,000 new AMTs will be needed globally through 2041, with the trade association ADS saying that there are currently 10,000 vacancies in the UK alone. To meet this demand, the industry must increase the number of trained AMTs by at least 20% above those already being trained. Strategies to address this could include: ✈️ Increasing financial compensation: Making the role more attractive by acknowledging the high skill and training required. ✈️ Diversifying recruitment efforts: Expanding marketing to underrepresented groups (currently, <10% of aviation and aerospace engineers are female, for example). ✈️ Mentorship programs: Leveraging the experience of current professionals to guide and inspire the next generation. At Aviation in Reach, our team of experienced mentors are dedicated to supporting aspiring aviation professionals and levelling the playing field for those traditionally underrepresented in the industry. If you know someone looking to start a career in aviation engineering, please share this post with them. We’ll be reopening applications this summer. This Aviation Maintenance Technician Day, let’s work together to secure the future of aviation by investing in the next generation. #MentorshipMatters #AviationIndustry #Aerospace

I always tell buyers the most important part of buying an aircraft is to understand the mission. It’s common for many buyers to either purchase “too much” or “too little” aircraft. As a result, the aircraft does not meet their needs or the cost of ownership is more than anticipated. As a Buyer’s Agent, I develop a decision matrix for my clients to quickly rule out candidates that do not meet the “must have” criteria and prioritize those with the necessary “highly desirable” attributes based on their stated mission. #aviation #aircraftappraisal #bizjet

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said that it will continue to hold Boeing accountable after reviewing the company’s roadmap to fix its systemic safety and quality-control issues. Following the January 5, 2024, Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 MAX door plug incident, FAA Administrator Mike Whitaker directed the aircraft manufacturer to develop a comprehensive action plan to set a new standard for safety and how the company conducts business. According to Boeing, the roadmap is necessary to reset the safety culture at Boeing, as well as address the findings of the FAA’s special audit and the expert review panel report.  Read more at: https://lnkd.in/dGuQnCvM #AviationTalk #aviationnews #avgeek #aviation #safety
