What we do
 

Asset Management

An Integrated Approach

In today’s challenging asset management environment, the demand is for a business partner that not only has a strong reputation and high levels of expertise but also a consistent and quality driven approach.

Our integration of what are typically considered separate functions, such as project management, airworthiness oversight, powerplant services and risk management are all combined together to form ten core modules, providing a unique and flexible capability.

This approach allows you to draw on specific resources from just one or two of these modules, to support a particular need, or combine services from all ten modules to provide a true ‘single source’ solution.

Strategy, planning and risk assessment

Whether you are an investor seeking independent due diligence of a business proposition, an airline considering a new outsourcing strategy, or a lessor requiring an in depth risk assessment of a potential lessee, we have the expertise to support you. This may include services such as:

Aircraft valuation and selection

As one of the world’s leading independent inspectors of aircraft, our experience and knowledge of the market means that we are uniquely placed to assist you during the valuation and selection stage, forming an integral part of your internal decision making process. This may include:

Acquisitions, transitions and disposals

If you intend to acquire an aircraft, transition the asset between operators, or decide to part out or dispose of the aircraft, Airclaims can support you during the entire asset life cycle, including:

Asset assurance

Ensuring that an aircraft is being maintained, operated and managed in accordance with provisions in the lease agreement, can often be overlooked, severely impacting the residual value and liquidity of the asset. Our many decades of experience in this area allows us to design a bespoke programme or place your aircraft under our own Integrated Risk and Asset Assurance programme to ‘quality assure’ your asset. We can:

CAMO

Airclaims is approved as a Continuing Airworthiness Management Organisation (CAMO) by both the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) in accordance with Part M, Subpart G requirements and the Cayman and Bermudan Aviation Authorities under their Part 39. We are approved on numerous different aircraft types and offer a full range of CAMO services which include:

         

Maintenance and modification management

We can provide total project management support for all levels of maintenance and modifications ranging from simple AD driven changes to the installation of winglets or the complete conversion of an aircraft from passenger to cargo configuration. Examples include:

Powerplant management

Even given the high value and complexity of today’s modern turbine engines the management of this important part of the asset can often be over looked. Airclaims provides a full powerplant management service for a wide range of engine types from the Pratt and Whitney PT6 to the General Electric GE90 utilising our in-house powerplant management expertise. Our services include:

Aircraft recovery and repossession

Whether it is a planned recovery or hostile repossession, it is the experience and resources deployed that is key. Our involvement in repossessions spans many of the industry downturns from the recovery of former Laker aircraft in the 1980’s, Air Europe B757’s in the 1990’s, Sabena in 2001 through to Oasis Hong Kong Airlines. We can offer either a complete project management solution or provide support in specific areas such as:

Aircraft remarketing

We will maximize your chances of a successful sale or lease transaction through the design and implementation of bespoke re-marketing strategies, supported by Airclaims professional in-house marketing and technical resources. This would include:

Legal and contract support

Many aviation related contracts and agreements require not only legal expertise but also strong technical, commercial and risk knowledge gained over many years. When disputes arise industry mediation and arbitration may offer a more cost effective solution than litigation. When litigation is the only option you require the best expert witnesses to support your case. Due to our independence, expertise and integrity in this area, we have been providing these services for more than three decades including:
