Preliminary remarksMaintenance Cost Task Force (MCTF) collects maintenance cost data from airlines worldwide on an annual basis. The goals of MCTF are to provide the tools, methodology and definitions to be able to determine how much it costs an airline to maintain its fleet and be able to use the data in cases of new fleet introduction or expansion, “make vs. buy” decisions, year-over-year trends, etc.
This report contains data and information that is available only to airlines that provided data and, as such, has been removed from this "public" version.
We are doing our maximum to present meaningful analysis and we encourage you to provide feedback on this report so we can improve it again next year.
THE IMPORTANCE OF DATA QUALITYIt takes a fair amount of time for MCTF airlines to gather and submit data, and it takes a lot of effort to validate this data in order to deliver the most relevant benchmark analysis. We often need to contact airlines and ask for clarifications when numbers do not meet the quality checks set. For this initiative to remain viable and reliable, it is critical to deal with the best possible data quality. That’s why we would like to remind you of the importance of making sure your data are accurate before submitting it. For that purpose, built-in checks are included in the data collection form (on two tabs: Summary Tables and Summary Graphs) in order to help you get an idea of the main metrics (e.g. maintenance cost per flight hour, per flight cycle or per aircraft). Unscheduled events can cause dramatic impact on
03
MCTF data collection is open to all commercial airlines worldwide that would like to benchmark their cost to maintain their fleet. MCTF does not discriminate between IATA and non-IATA member airlines. MCTF does not discriminate between major, domestic, international, low-cost, regional airlines, etc.
maintenance spend, that is why we need also as many comments to explain unusually high or low costs.
THE IMPORTANCE OF REPORTING OPERATIONAL DATAThe focus of MCTF is clearly on maintenance costs but operational data (e.g. flight hours, cycles, ASK, fleet size and fleet age) are very important to calculate unit costs and KPIs. For example, only 25% of MCTF airlines reported ASK in the past four years, preventing us from having a sample statistically large enough to calculate one of the most basic KPIs of the airline industry: CASK (cost per ASK).
We would like to draw your attention on the importance of reporting accurate cost data and operational data in order to get the best benchmark data and analysis possible for the benefit of the airline industry and your own airline.
THE IMPORTANCE OF DATA TREATMENTAll the MCTF analyses presented in this report use maintenance cost data as they were provided by
the airlines through the standardized IATA toolset. No attempt was used to normalize the data based on any parameters such as operational severity (hours to cycle ratio, utilization, harsh environment, etc.), aircraft ageing, fleet size and commonality, labor rate, etc. Additionally, it should be noted that the analysis is done in USD as most of the aircraft parts are marketed in USD; therefore currency exchange rates may play a significant role in benchmarking maintenance costs, especially when substantial foreign exchange fluctuations take place.
Finally, the aircraft delivery schedule and the periodicity of the maintenance program can strongly influence costs, especially when many aircraft were delivered within a short period of time.
THE ACCEPTANCE OF DATAThis report analyzes and comments data from 51 airlines. Due to late submission, insufficient data and poor data quality, a few other airlines' data was excluded from the analysis and report.
04 Data and Analysis Methodology
Data & Analysis Methodology
IATA’s Maintenance Cost Task Force (MCTF) collects maintenance cost data from airlines worldwide on an annual basis.
MCTF Airlines are the carriers which participate in the annual data collection. 51 airlines reported data for FY2014, and 23 airlines provided data consistently over the past five years (FY2010-2014). Airline maintenance cost submitted past the deadline and data that did not pass the quality checks and subsequent questions were excluded from this report. If needed, contributing airlines are contacted to clarify the reported data. The data are then coded (operators are de-identified) and used as reported (i.e. without any normalization) to create this benchmark report.
All airline data are consolidated and then analyzed considering aircraft type, fleet and engine size and models, fleet age, maintenance market segments (line, components, engines, heavy checks and MOD) and elements (labor, material, subcontracted work), flight hours, cycles and geography.
All data presented in this report are de-identified. The two-digit airline codes shown in this report are unique codes given to the participating airlines for de-identification purposes. Although some of these codes may match real IATA airline codes, this is merely a coincidence. If you do not know your airline’s code, please contact us at [email protected].
Typical metrics include: cost per flight hour, cost per departure, cost per aircraft. Next year, we plan to expand the benchmark using cost per ASK (metric that relates closer to the financial performance of the airline than the above listed).
All cost data unit is US dollar, and length unit is kilometer.
The goals of MCTF are to provide the tools, methodology and definitions to be able to determine how much it costs an airline to maintain its fleet and be able to use the data in cases of new fleet introduction or expansion, “make vs. buy” decisions, year-over-year trends, etc.

08 Global Picture
1.1. Airline Industry Landscape in 2014Aviation has an immeasurable impact on the world we live in, connecting people and cultures, creating opportunities and facilitating economic progress. 2014 was a relatively strong year for the airline industry.
Collectively, the airlines had a net post-tax profit of $19.9 billion (Fig. 1), a 2.7% margin on revenues. This improves on the 2013 results of $10.6 billion profit (1.6% margin). The improvement was achieved through a combination of improving global economic conditions, which supported stronger growth in passenger and air freight demand. Lower fuel costs also helped, but due to hedging, some airlines have experienced a delay in seeing the benefits of the fall in fuel prices. Jet fuel prices fell significantly during 2014, starting the year at $130 per barrel and finishing it at $75 per barrel.
The average for the year was $114.8 / bbl, 6% lower than the 2013 average price of $124.5 / bbl (Fig. 2). However, the strengthening of the US$ over other world currencies does not allow all airlines to benefit from the lower fuel prices (or other costs, e.g. aircraft leasing, maintenance) denominated in US$.
Passenger ancillary revenues continued to play an increasing role in the industry. Revenues from added-value services improved from $42.6 billion in 2013 to $49.9 billion in 2014, or more than $15 per passenger.
RPKs between regions of the world grew at an accelerated rate in 2014, expanding by 6% compared to 5.4% in 2013. The pick-up in the growth trend reflects increasing demand through improvements in the global economic backdrop.

Even so, airlines have continued with disciplined capacity management. The growth in available seat kilometers (ASK) has been 6.4%, only slightly stronger than the expansion in RPKs (Fig. 3).
More than 32.5 million scheduled flight services were provided in 2014, a 2.2% increase on the previous year. Correspondingly, the number of seats rose 4.7% to 4.4 million.
Passenger load factors remained close to 2013’s record high at 80%. This is the result of an increase in passenger volumes, coupled with disciplined capacity management, particularly in mature markets like the US domestic and the North Atlantic.
Break-even load factors came down even further in 2014 (63.7% vs 64.5% in 2013) because of lower fuel
prices and the positive impact of increasing ancillary revenues on yields. In addition, consolidation and capacity management boosted load factors achieved.
Cargo markets showed solid improvement in 2014. The cyclical upturn in the global economy helped boost confidence and international trade, and support stronger demand in air freight.

DEVELOPING TRENDS AND TECHNOLOGIES IN MAINTENANCE • Aircraft health monitoring systems and big data: e-aircraft are constantly monitoring and transmitting faults and warnings for a more dynamic planning and check scheduling
• New technologies: mobile devices, wearables (e.g. Google Glass) and real-time video transmission for front-line support, e-logbooks for paperless operations, drones and/or sensors for remote inspections
• Predictive maintenance is estimated to increase aircraft availability by up to 35%
• Composite repair capabilities
• Additive manufacturing (3-D printing) is continuously growing, reducing lead times, increasing part availa- bility, optimizing parts and saving weight.
These innovations are estimated to decrease MRO spending by 15 to 20% but first, the market needs to innovate with a clear vision and strategy.
It is critical to identify opportunities and isolate the most promising ones, then develop an innovation process to transform these opportunities into pilot projects and market roll-outs.

Boeing (including McDonnell-Douglas) and Airbus are overrepresented in MCTF fleet. They account for 86% of MCTF fleet vs 76% of worldwide fleet. On the contrary, Bombardier and ATR have a combined share of 4.3% of MCTF fleet vs 13.5% worldwide. (Fig. 12). More details on MCTF fleet vs Worldwide Fleet in Annex I.
As shown in Fig. 13, narrowbody aircraft (NB) were the most popular aircraft (50% of 51 MCTF airlines'
fleet) with 3,098 flight hours per aircraft and 1,555 flight cycles per aircraft on average. In 2014, wide-body aircraft represented 36% of the fleet with an average age of 10.4 years (vs. 9.8 years for NB). Each widebody aircraft (WB) flew on average 3,867 hours and performed 802 cycles (Table 3). Regional (RJ) and Turboprop (TP) fleets are underrepresented in the MCTF analysis because reporting carriers mostly have larger aircraft.

Fig. 15: Evolution of Direct Maintenance Cost Structure by Segment (FY2010 & FY2014)
2.2. Maintenance Cost AnalysisIn FY2014, MCTF airlines reported a total of $17.6 billion for their Technical Division spend: this is $15 billion for Direct Maintenance Cost (reported by 48 airlines) and $2.5 billion for Overhead (reported by 41 airlines). $15 billion represent almost 24% of the world MRO spend for 17% of the world fleet. This may be explained by the fact that MCTF fleet is skewed
towards higher gauge aircraft (36% WB in MCTF fleet vs 20% in world fleet). They employed a total of 30,064 mechanics (report-ed by 29 airlines) and 18,276 OH staff (reported by 43 airlines). Staffing and overhead (OH) are analyzed separately in Section 2.2.3.
2.2.1. Direct Maintenance Spend The 51 MCTF airlines reported $15 billion for their direct maintenance costs, the average maintenance cost was $295 million per airline, $1,087 per flight hour, $2,681 per flight cycle and $3.6 million per aircraft.

Engine remains the highest cost segment with 39% of maintenance costs (Fig. 15). Over the past five year, base maintenance has decreased from 20% to 15%.
Contract maintenance (indicated as ‘SubC’ for sub-contracted) continued to grow and reached a new high with 68% of total direct maintenance spend (Fig. 16); 13 airlines indicated that they subcontracted all their maintenance activities (Fig. 17).
As shown in Figure18, the majority of airlines continue subcontract the entirety of their engine work as shown. 0% mostly reflects the absence of any engine over-haul for FY2014.

4.4. Trend Analysis By Airline GroupIn total, 23 airlines have submitted their data consistently for the past 5 years, allowing us to perform trend analysis for each group between 2010 and 2014. During this period, the number of Group One airlines decreased from13 in 2010 to 10 in 2014. Conversely, the number of Group Two and Group
Three airlines increased, from 5 to 6 and from 5 to 7 respectively. This trend is also reflected in the fleet size between 2010 and 2014 (Fig. 63). The increase in fleet size could be due to mergers and acquisitions or more aircraft entering than leaving airline fleets.
