Discover how Ground Events by Cirium pinpoints the locations, dates, and types of aircraft ground stays using advanced flight data. Dive into unique insights on airframe maintenance checks and cabin retrofits with Andrew Doyle, Senior Director, Market Development at Cirium on this latest Thought Cloud article: https://lnkd.in/erk_rB7R

Seeking unique insights into the world of aircraft cabin retrofits and airframe maintenance checks? Discover how Cirium Ground Events Analytics can help you monitor and predict future aircraft maintenance events.

A great article by my colleague James Mellon! The first wave of Boeing 787-8s to enter service are now over a decade old; their airframes need heavy maintenance, and several airlines have recently announced accompanying cabin retrofit programmes. Exciting times for the retrofit market! As airlines look to upgrade their aging fleet during maintenance checks, opportunities continue to arise for cabin interior suppliers. Cirium provides valuable insights into predictive retrofit and maintenance opportunities, empowering cabin interior suppliers to make informed decisions and thrive in the current market conditions.

Are you maximizing the potential of your data in aircraft maintenance? Data-driven maintenance is more than just a concept—it's a practical approach that helps predict failures, optimize operations, and meet regulatory demands. But this only works if your data is accurate, consistent, and well-managed. Without it, you're risking compliance issues, inefficiencies, and unnecessary costs. This article breaks down the practical benefits and challenges, offering clear strategies for using your data effectively. #Aviation #AircraftMaintenance #DataManagement #MRO #TechnicalInsights

With some adjustments in the organization, big changes are achieved. "AS9110 is a standard that defines quality system requirements for organizations whose primary business is the aviation industry at all levels of the maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) process."

With constraints in aircraft supply, aircraft flying, and not stuck on the ground, feeds into many different decisions. The enhancement of credit risk analysis, airline (competitor) benchmarking, available seats, route optimisation and retrofits to extend useful life are some of the ways that data can be used as Andrew Doyle, Cirium highlights in this article (https://bit.ly/4auD6bp). #cirium #groundevents #aircraftonground #realassets #aviationfinance #mbposts #aircraftanalysis

🔧 Predictive Maintenance: The Key to Operational Efficiency At #JASTeam, we understand that downtime and unexpected failures are not an option in the #aviation industry.

Cirium Ascend Consultancy recently raised market values and lease rates for certain mid-life Airbus A330s (one of the types worst affected by the pandemic) by around 50%, but how is demand for C and heavy maintenance checks shaping up for the next couple of years? Using the just-released Projection module for Cirium's Ground Events Analytics product I was able to identify more than 450 A330-200/300s which are expected to undergo their next C or heavy airframe check during the next eight quarters (we tracked almost 650 A330ceos undergoing at least one C or heavy check with a total of 47 MRO providers during the past two years). My chart shows the number of aircraft projected to enter a check by operator and quarter through the first half of 2026, for those airlines with more than five aircraft expected to go into the hangar.

In our very complex world of aviation, the key importance of standards and maintenance cannot be overstated. It is not overstating to say they are vital to ensure safety, efficiency and reliability in Aviation. In this blog we outline the basics of standards and maintenance and then explore what all MROs should be implementing in their organisation today. https://lnkd.in/egASSZdS #airlines #mro #aviation #datajourney #digital

It was inspiring to connect with others who share the same commitment to improving processes that keep aviation safe and efficient. In aviation, strong MRO management is essential. From reducing downtime to ensuring every part is accounted for, MRO processes are the backbone of operational reliability. Staying on top of best practices is critical, whether through advanced inventory strategies, embracing data analytics, or leveraging outsourcing when needed. #MRO #Aviation #ContinuousImprovement #SupplyChain #Aerospace #Networking
