Fixing strategies

Increasing competition from overseas means Europe's maintenance providers are having to look beyond their traditional specialisms. Ahead of MRO Europe, we look at some of the key issues and challenges facing the region's aftermarket support sector. To serve others : after years of mainly supporting its parent fleet, BA Engineering is reaching out again for a piece of the MRO market -- Crowning success : having supported Boeing 737s for years, KLM UK Engineering has now found a new role as a service centre for single-aisle aircraft -- Expanding empire : the maintenance arm of Monarch Airlines is in the throes of raising its profile through a diverse and ambitious expansion strategy -- All Systems go for BAE : UK company is looking at how best to reach beyond its legacy fleet in order to sustain its ℗Đ60 million support business -- Juggling capacity : managing the space is a key challenge for GE's facilities in Wales and Scotland, which have privileged access to large turbofans -- Human factors : Flight Safety Foundation aims to reduce MRO risk by raising providers' awareness of the importance of looking after staff.
