The top three revenue contributing aircraft type segments are discussed below

Global aircraft line maintenance market for narrow-body aircraft: The ongoing surge in the demand for narrow-body aircraft is propelling the need for MRO facilities, along with the emerging trend of outsourcing line maintenance to third party MRO providers. Furthermore, the involvement of OEMs in the after-service market is increasing steadily and impacting the market growth.

Most MRO activities like heavy airframe, components, and engines are mostly outsourced, apart from line maintenance, as many aircraft carriers consider it a core activity and prefer that it is done in-house. Air Works, for example, performs third party line maintenance services at the Chennai, Trichy, Thiruvananthapuram, and Bengaluru airports in India,” says Avimanyu Basu, a lead analyst at Technavio for research on MRO.

Global aircraft line maintenance market for wide-body aircraft: On an average, each wide-body aircraft travel for around 3,863 hours with an average age of almost 12 years. Such high flight hours and aircraft age augments the need for MRO services for wide-body aircraft, leading to the growth of the global aircraft line maintenance market for wide-body aircraft.

Global aircraft line maintenance market for regional jets/turboprop aircraft: The market growth of this segment is hindered due to carriers preferring to use narrow-body aircraft for short hauls and the emergence of LCCs. The decreased use of regional jets has a negative impact on the global line maintenance market for regional jets/turboprop aircraft as maintenance needs will also decrease, resulting in slow growth in the market.
