The Air Transport USM (Used Serviceable Material) market is a part of the commercial aerospace industry that deals with the trading and utilization of second-hand or recycled aircraft components. This segment of the industry offers airlines and maintenance providers a cost-effective alternative to brand-new parts, contributing to the lifecycle extension of aircraft and their components. USM parts include a wide range of hardware from avionics and engine components to airframes and other replaceable parts. USMs are appealing to operators looking to maintain older aircraft or reduce maintenance and operational costs. The market operates under stringent regulatory frameworks to ensure that all parts meet safety and performance standards equivalent to new materials. Certified USMs are sourced from retired aircraft, excess inventory from other carriers, or from dismantling operations after an aircraft has finished its operational service. The practice not only offers economic advantages but also aligns with sustainability efforts within the industry by promoting recycling and reducing waste. Several key players in the Air Transport USM market contribute to its diversity and reach. Companies like AerSale, AAR Corp, and Aviall (a subsidiary of Boeing) specialize in the provision of used serviceable parts. Others, such as HEICO, Moog Inc., and AJW Group, offer a broad range of services that include parts supply, repair, and overhaul. These players navigate a network of airlines, maintenance providers, and regulatory bodies to deliver cost-saving solutions without compromising on quality or safety. Show Less Read more
