Introduction

Anyone who has gone through the “pain” of an aircraft re-delivery will know about the potential for an upset with the potential of a costly failure a distinct possibility, particularly if you do not plan the process correctly. Whilst much of a transition delivery is outside of the lessor’s direct control due to the involvement of external organisations – MRO & Parts Suppliers – Part 21J Design Organisations etc. It is still both possible and advantageous for the Lessor to take all-natural precautions.

SofemaOnline looks at the preparation for the Engines during the Aircraft Lease Return.

Introduction

The lessee’s challenge during the end of lease handover is to have “All” and we really do mean “All” information that the lessor may require to hand.

Consider that there are some months to prepare this information - conversely consider the pain of last-minute hunting (and potentially failing to find the required information).

We have previously discussed the cost of poor preparation and the impact it can have on the Operators Cashflow.
