Aircraft Audits
Relaer has performed annual, mid-term and pre-lease audits on over 700 aircraft to date.
Aircraft physical and records conditions are inspected to ensure compliance with lease covenants and that proper maintenance processes are followed.
Clients gain an intricate view of their asset in operation and the ability to make informed decisions, through comprehensive reporting and assessments.
Aircraft Transitions
When transitioning in to or out of a fleet, an aircraft must adhere to strict technical, commercial, contractual and regulatory requirements.
Having performed over 160 aircraft transitions, Relaer has accumulated a wealth of experience across aircraft types (Airbus, Boeing, Embraer) in different jurisdictions.
A complex project management process requiring expertise in back to birth documentation review, maintenance planning definition, oversight of task accomplishment, and knowledge of contractual terms.
Base Maintenance Oversight
Onsite representation by Relaer during heavy maintenance checks yield concrete benefits to owners and operators.
Participation in task planning, monitoring of maintenance progress, as well as ongoing review of costs and deviations ensure full visibility of the progress of the work and timely return to service of the aircraft.
Contract Negotiations, Review and Analysis
For over 25 years Relaer has been actively supporting commercial negotiations of new and pre-owned aircraft purchase agreements, in addition to new leases and novations.
Each transaction has its own complexities where Relaer’s judgment and history in supporting a large array of aviation deals proves valuable to clients.
Lease Management
Relaer has supported the launch, growth and ongoing management of aircraft lease portfolios.
In managing over 100 aircraft operated by 30 airlines, Relaer’s lease management experience is considerable.
The service provided safeguard’s the lessor’s investment through diligent technical, commercial, and relationship management.
Maintenance Claim Management
Management of maintenance reserve claims avoids excessive dollar disbursements by the lessor during the lease and at redelivery.
Maintenance workscopes may include items which are not payable by the owner and the ability to identify these discrepancies generates cash savings for owners.
On 140 Maintenance Claims, 17% of the value in dollars, has been recovered.
Maintenance Reserve Formulation
Relaer has cultivated a proprietary maintenance cost database covering all the industry’s major aircraft and engine types.
An extensive data base built up thanks to years of experience in maintenance cost reviews, enables aircraft owners to accurately provision for maintenance during a lease.
When drafting a new lease, defining appropriate maintenance provisions and reserve rates is critical to protecting long term owner interests. An often undervalued aspect of leases, yet with significant financial implications.
