Aug 06, 2014 (newstodate): With Jonas Butautis as new CEO from July 2014, the Estonian company AME, Air Maintenance Estonia is rethinking its course ahead.
-Let us not call it a revolution, rather leave out the "r-", says Mr Butautis.
-We are seeing a 60 bio dollars global market for aircraft maintenance. Let it grow further by 2.3-3 percent annually or shrink a few percentages, we would still be doing a bad job if we did not manage to snatch and grow our bit. Becoming a half-a-billion company is still worth striving for..
-We cannot, however, compete with Asian wages, so our way forward is rather commercializing our services, bundling offerings and competencies and bringing then closer to customers. Packaging aircraft light and line maintenance and related services enables us to go beyond geography and be present in markets independent of physical facilities such as own hangars and workshops.
-Few companies make money from heavy maintenance, and heavy maintenance on narrow-body aircraft is basically a local business as these aircraft do not fly intercontinental. We do have the facilities with the latest addition of new hangars at Tallinn Airport, but in the future we will rather consider these facilities eye-catching marketing tools, focusing our efforts on developing comprehensive customized and non-localized services to customers around the world, says Mr Butautis.
