In house or Outsource
The Major factors that dictate the decision to Outsource MRO activity In house

vs. Outsource are: Maintenance Philosophy Economy of scale / sufficient volume Available resource / skilled manpower, facility (or build and plan) Regulatory Economic feasibility Tax impacts Favorable policies / schemes Geographic location Existing Service Providers (in-country and regional)
Each of E&M Activities needs to be evaluated E&M strategy has to be periodically reviewed

E&M Activities
Line Maintenance / Light Maintenance Checks Does not require facility (done within the operating network) More labor intense, less downtime and lower skills Currently it is better to do in-house Heavy Scheduled Checks (Base Maintenance) Mostly outsourced due to shortage of facilities Requires facility More labor intensive, higher ground time and higher skills Has good potential for in-country MROs but there are service tax, sales tax, VAT, customs duty Collaboration model coupled with SEZ benefits. Engines / APU / Components / Landing Gear Outsourced (out of country) Requires sufficient volume for overhaul shops More material intensive, high skill Withholding tax Collaboration model coupled with SEZ benefits for some selective types

In-house vs. Outsourcing


In-house
Sufficient volume Complete control Proactive for uncertainty Third party revenue

Outsource
Quick startup Predictable cost (PBTH model) Contracts Performance & Penalty Flexible to fleet changes Airlines can have mix fleet Reactive to uncertainty Could have exit penalties Taxes: withholding, sales tax,

Long lead time Investment Cost Inflexible to fleet changes Downsizing Inflexible to cater to mix fleet
