Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/20/2015 -- Line maintenance is a part of aircraft MRO; it involves maintenance activities on discrepancies as per the requirements of flight crews to ensure the airworthy condition of aircraft for operations. These activities are conducted before or in between flight operations on a regular basis. Line maintenance is classified into two: labor and materials. Some of the line maintenance activities are A checks, weekly/overnight checks, daily checks, transit checks, and pre-flight checks.

Technavio's analysts forecast the global aircraft line maintenance market to grow at a CAGR of 4.06% over the period 2014-2019.

Commenting on the report, an analyst from Technavio's team said: "Most MRO activities such as heavy airframe, components, and engine maintenance activities that do not include line maintenance are typically outsourced. However, changes in the economic conditions of airline carriers and expansion of air travel to new regions is resulting in a transition toward outsourcing. In addition, availability of spare parts to reduce long aircraft on ground (AOG) risk, turn-time reliability, and man hour rates for cost efficiency and scheduled services plays a major role in this shift."
