In house or Outsource
The Major factors that dictate the decision to Outsource MRO activity In house vs. Outsource are:-
Maintenance Philosophy Economy of scale / sufficient volume Available resource / – skilled manpower, facility (or build and plan) Regulatory Economic feasibility Tax impacts Favorable policies / schemes Geographic location Existing Service Providers (in-country and regional)
Each of E&M Activities needs to be evaluated E&M strategy has to be periodically reviewed
E&M Activities• Line Maintenance / Light Maintenance Checks
– Does not require facility (done within the operating network)– More labor intense, less downtime and lower skills
• Currently it is better to do in-house
• Heavy Scheduled Checks (Base Maintenance)– Mostly outsourced due to shortage of facilities– Requires facility – More labor intensive, higher ground time and higher skills– Has good potential for in-country MROs but there are service tax, sales tax,
VAT, customs duty• Collaboration model coupled with SEZ benefits.
• Engines / APU / Components / Landing Gear– Outsourced (out of country)– Requires sufficient volume for overhaul shops– More material intensive, high skill– Withholding tax
• Collaboration model coupled with SEZ benefits for some selective types
In-house vs. Outsourcing
• In-house– Sufficient volume– Complete control– Proactive for uncertainty– Third party revenue
– Long lead time– Investment Cost– Inflexible to fleet
changes – Downsizing – Inflexible to cater to mix
fleet
• Outsource– Quick startup– Predictable cost (PBTH model)– Contracts – Performance &
Penalty– Flexible to fleet changes– Airlines can have mix fleet
– Reactive to uncertainty– Could have exit penalties– Taxes: withholding, sales tax,
