It is no big news that many industries significantly downsized during the pandemic. However, as the world attempts to recover fully to normal, the aviation industry is facing one of the biggest challenges in finding a replacement for workers retrenched during the pandemic.  Skilled engineering personnel are particularly in short supply, as many have left for other sectors. Though many other manufacturers, aftermarket providers, and airlines encountered the same acute problem last year, it can be ameliorated to a certain

Let’s start by defining attrition—attrition is the process of reducing something’s strength or effectiveness through sustained attack or pressure. So how does attrition affect aircraft maintenance, you might ask? Well, aircraft fall under the category of heavy vehicles, which means it goes through a lot of wear and tears over the course of its life. Neither is it easy to replace the damage that has already been cost.  The five primary sources of attrition are weather, friction, overloads, heat, and

Regular cleaning is a vital part of most aviation maintenance regimes and is not just about maintaining appearances. Keeping equipment, vehicles and workspaces clean is an integral part of taking care of critical infrastructure as well as maintaining a safe and healthy working environment. While an aircraft degreaser specifically serves the purpose of cleaning an aircraft, regular industrial degreasers cover a wide range of applications across almost every conceivable industry, which is why these degreasers often lack certain qualities essential

A corrosion inhibitor is a chemical that prevents or reduces the impact of corrosion on an exposed metal of the aircraft in a harsh environment.

BOEING D6 and BOEING BSS cleaning protocols are regulatory requirements that civil aviation authorities (worldwide) impose on airline operators to ensure the most top-notch cleanliness onboard. The purpose of cleaning standards in commercial aircraft is to protect the health and safety of passengers and crew are not compromised. Moreover, approved aviation cleaning products are also necessary to remove dust, dirt, and stains and keep aviation equipment operating at its optimal efficiency.

As air travel is recovering since the pandemic, the impact on airline MRO budgets has been greatly affected. To reduce the economic impact of the pandemic, airline and MRO companies need to think of a way to stop wasteful expenditure on ineffective cleaning products or wastage. It is projected that global airline revenue for 2022 will reach $432 billion in the baseline recovery scenario, representing 65% of 2019’s revenue. And by the end of the year, global air travel demand
