Airlines and aircraft manufacturers have already officially announced job cuts - for example, rolls-Royce plans to cut up to 17% of its workers.
Even assistance from the government will not be able to replace the constant consumer demand that was present earlier.
On the other hand, the dismissal of highly skilled workers can lead to the loss of significant intellectual resources, which are also necessary when interacting with MRO providers, so this may cause a bad influence on the business in whole.
Therefore, the situation looks very uncertain for maintenance providers, because airlines are likely to spend less time and money on maintenance, and instead will be called "green engines".
Some experts suggest that available high-quality serviceable materials for aircraft may be profitable for them, since this material can be put on sale.
To sum up, maintenance providers are in a two-way situation, the exact way out of which is not yet possible to predict. They have access to a large fleet of parts that can be used, but even the largest airlines will think twice before ordering maintenance of aircraft that will now be considered illiquid and are unlikely to return to the air in the coming years.
However, recently the world's famous airlines have reported an increase in demand for maintenance, as customers from all over the world have decided not to waste time and take advantage of the "grounding period" and conduct technical inspection of vessels.
The most popular requests for suppliers are the conversion of passenger aircraft to cargo, repainting, and interior renovation program.
Perhaps now is the best time to implement everything necessary for the operation of the air fleet in an optimal mode.
