"Competition is really mandatory to keep control of our costs as an airline," says Franck Terner, president of Air France Industries. He questions what would give airline purchasers a frame of reference in a maintenance market dominated by the manufacturers, and urges operators to take action via purchasing power "to make sure that nobody will take control of the aftermarket, [be it] equipment manufacturers, aircraft manufacturers or MRO [firms]".
Co-operation between OEMs and third-party maintenance providers has a long history but competition has stiffened since manufacturers decided to make aftermarket support a central revenue source in each product's business case. Their argument is clear, and valid too. Demand for more efficient, lightweight, reliable and long-lasting equipment has inflated development costs. At the same time, prices have come under pressure, with tougher discount negotiations with operators and leasing companies as the industry and, ultimately, consumers became used to cheaper air fares. So the costs need to be recuperated throughout the equipment's lifecycle.
