Indian aviation is fast becoming a booming sector, with both the civil and military departments beginning to take center stage. With an IATA forecast of India becoming the third-largest aviation market in terms of passengers by the year 2024, and the perennial need for the military aviation to be combat-ready, the biggest question is, how can the country’s aviation needs be met seamlessly?
When
it comes to military aviation, the IAF has started upgrading and maintaining
its combat aircraft fleet to enhance its operational capability and utilize
them as modern weapon platforms, capable of meeting the present challenges
posed by the security requirements.
New acquisitions and the need to keep the existing fleet flight-ready would mean that the IAF has the need to maintain and overhaul its fleet with the aim of improving the overall capability.
With so much hinging on the shape of the military aviation sector, the focus should be on flying sustainably and keeping the reserve fleet flight-ready. Interestingly, the second highest expense in the aviation sector after fuel cost is towards Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul popularly known as MRO.
Now, how do you measure the effectiveness of an aviation unit? Let look at CASP Solutions simple calculation. We believe that the effectiveness is reflected through a glance at the following factors:
a) The number of hours the fleet is in-air without break-down
b) The flight readiness of the reserve fleet in the hangar.
Both these factors conversely depend on the maintenance, repair and overhaul. So, as apparent, it’s a cycle and this cycle needs to work like a well-oiled mechanism so that the sector stays on top of its game.
At CASP Solutions, irrespective of whether the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) is domestic or international, we ensure the service/ part will be made available to solve the issue. So, no matter where the aircraft has come from, we will custom-make parts and create services tailor-made for the aircraft.
