Aircraft Interiors Program Offers New Savings
Imagine reducing heavy check out-of service days along with your check costs. At a time when margins are tight and profits are hard fought, the offer sounds extremely appealing. Fortunately, there are solutions. Did you know that Leading Edge now offers a comprehensive interiors program in tandem with its painting services? Launched earlier this year, this new service was designed to save customers time and money by optimizing downtime. “We’ve found that with the recession and a number of recent mergers, there’s never been a greater need for this kind of onestop shopping,” said Mike Manclark, CEO of Leading Edge Aviation Services. “Now you can transform your interior while our crews simultaneously transform the exterior. This will translate to significant reductions in out-of-service costs for the airlines.”
The new interior service includes cabin mods and change outs—carpets, fabrics, seatback covers, countertops, overheads, lavatories and more—to give airlines that added sense of polish and professionalism. “With this new service, an airline can have a completely rebranded aircraft in as little as six days, depending on the size of the aircraft,” added Manclark. “That’s inside and out.” At a time when everyone’s fighting for customers, it’s more important than ever to maintain the highest appearance of quality and to protect your image. If you can do all that while minimizing your downtime, reducing heavy check days and taking advantage of lower labor rates, that’s a real value-add for today’s airlines.
