Panel Discussion: Short Term Maintenance and Leasing

Trends

Operators are looking to extend leases and find shorter term maintenance solutions for their legacy engines, to combat production delays on new aircraft and durability issues on new engines. How does this change the operator risk appetite on different engine types? How long will this uptake in short term leases last? How are MROs approaching the demand for inventive maintenance solutions and prioritizing their capacity against full overhauls?
