Deepak Sharma, President International Supply Chain at AAR, says the company's advantage is being the largest independent aviation services provider in the world, which means it can offer power-by-the-hour (PBH) programmes, MRO and engineering services tailored to each customer's requirements. Most of the others are attached to an airline, which means they are supporting their parent while also trying to get some benefit out of their inventory holding.There are also some private companies, but they do not offer a broad portfolio or the ability to integrate services. He says the company is third out of the top five players in the market and that is probably the maximum that can provide a good service. Adding more players will not give the market a competitive advantage.
