Airlines And MRO Providers Seek Provenance And Traceability
Following the AOG Technics scandal, the demand for used serviceable material (USM) has climbed alongside increased scrutiny of the provenance and traceability of used parts. Airlines and MRO providers now expect full back-to-birth documentation, supplier audits, and proper due diligence on new counterparties. This shift benefits established parts companies like APOC Aviation, which already met these standards. The Chinese market, in particular, represents a huge opportunity for USM acceptance, although acceptance may be gradual. According to industry experts, including APOC Aviation’s Vice President of Engines Darren Naughton and Corax COO Morten Espenhein, this trend is expected to continue.
