It aims to revolutionise the way requirements are handled for customers needing repair and overhaul for components and equipment initially supplied by Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs).

The service is being launched after Flitetec doubled its annual revenues in each of the past two years and sets its sights on strong further growth.

Trevor Lea, Flitetec managing director, said: “Many operators in aviation are facing increasing challenges in the repair and replacement of parts on their assets, especially legacy aircraft.

“The Original Equipment Manufacturer may not exist anymore, be part of a larger group or no longer have the capability or capacity to perform repairs and refurbishment for particular parts. In some cases, parts may no longer be available.

“All of the time an asset is non-operational it is costing money. The cost of repair or refurbishing safety or mission critical equipment or components can be a fraction of the upgrade cost for an entirely new aircraft or platform.

“With OEMRepair Hub, we have identified a gap in the market to provide a comprehensive solution that seamlessly manages repair processes, ensuring efficiency, reliability and exceptional customer satisfaction.
