Prior to the COVID crisis, the industry was suffering material engine performance issues.



Advances in technology and the amount of data created by a modern generation engine should be of benefit to all, however these advances raise new performance and anti-trust issues.

Our two-part webinar series, where we heard from leading experts including, Giles Thomas, Managing Director, Charlotte Parker Associates, Michael Downey, VP Technical, ICBC Leasing & Stephen Hayde, Technical Director, Sirius Aviation Capital, explored the performance issues the industry has suffered, their commercial consequences, and potential solutions and then examined the trends to an increasing OEM role in the after-market through “power by the hour” or “cost per flight hour” agreements and anti-trust issues.

Session 1: Recent aero engine performance problems

  • Engine faults and impact of failure on operations and cost
  • Lessor and airline needs and responsibilities
