Philippine Airlines (PAL), the flagship carrier of the Philippines, is set to bolster its operational efficiency and cost management through an extended partnership with Airinmar, a subsidiary of AAR. This collaboration focuses on aircraft warranty and value engineering services, aiming to further PAL’s commitment to safety and operational excellence.
Since the beginning of 2020, Airinmar has played a pivotal role as a trusted partner for PAL, providing essential support in aircraft warranty management and value engineering. The extension of this partnership underscores a mutual commitment to enhancing PAL’s service delivery while optimizing maintenance costs.
Alvin Kendrich Limqueco, PAL’s SVP of the Supply Chain Management Group, expressed appreciation for Airinmar’s dedication to excellence, highlighting its significant contributions to meeting PAL’s safety and efficiency objectives. Through this collaboration, PAL aims to continue driving down operational maintenance costs, contributing to the airline’s long-term improvement and growth strategies.
Engineering Value, Ensuring Efficiency
Airinmar’s comprehensive support services are designed to deliver tangible cost savings and efficiency improvements. By ensuring supplier compliance with contracted component repairs and minimizing flight-hour out-of-scope repair charges, Airinmar’s value engineering support directly impacts PAL’s bottom line. Furthermore, Airinmar’s adept handling of aircraft warranty management spans the identification, claim, and recovery processes for warranties provided by major aircraft manufacturers like Airbus, Boeing, and de Havilland, along with their suppliers. This meticulous approach to warranty management is critical for maximizing PAL’s entitlements and reducing unnecessary expenditure.
Matt Davies, General Manager at Airinmar, expressed enthusiasm about the continuation and expansion of their relationship with PAL. He highlighted the importance of this partnership in supporting PAL’s growth strategy, especially as the airline looks forward to expanding its fleet with new aircraft deliveries in the upcoming years. This collaborative effort between Airinmar and PAL’s Aircraft Material Management team is a testament to both organizations’ dedication to reducing maintenance costs and enhancing operational efficiencies across PAL’s diverse fleet.
