To Own or Lease? Rethinking Spare Engine Strategies
Spare engine management has always required balancing cost with operational security. Today's market conditions and operating environment have made that balance increasingly difficult to achieve.
As our CEO, Virgil D. Pizer, explains, "Rather than relying solely on owned inventory, operators can leverage a broader network of maintenance expertise, asset availability, and planning support to maintain operational continuity."
For smaller and mid-sized fleets in particular, Pizer emphasizes the value of combining owned, leased, and pooled resources with strong MRO and lessor partnerships to improve flexibility, cost efficiency, and operational resilience.
