Aircraft line maintenance implies as maintenance tasks, which can be performed outside of a hangar. The basic difference between line and basic maintenance is that line maintenance is done outside hanger and base maintenance work is done in a hangar, with special tools and equipment. Thus, aircraft line maintenance activities are being performed to ensure that the aircraft is airworthy and fit for flight.
COVID-19 scenario analysis:
- Covid-19 pandemic has impacted defense and aerospace industry both from supply as well as from demand side.
- Aircraft industry is facing decline in demand ever since the outbreak of the pandemic and resultant lockdown.
- Raw material providers and OEMs are not able to continue their businesses due to stringent COVID-19 norms. Financial institutions like banks and NBFCs are not able to sanction loan for small vendors due to banking sector’s rising NPAs.
- Therefore, small vendors from defense industry are finding it hard to do business due to such business scenario.
- Aircraft line maintenance industry is going through a phase of slowdown. However, demand will soar in aircraft industry once lockdown is over and business activities return to normalcy.

Due to increased budget for R&D in defense sector and large contribution of private sector in defense industries, in many countries of the world, the demand for aircraft industry has increased over the years.
In addition, last few years has witnessed increasing trend of budget airlines with an objective to make air travel affordable for all. This has created a potential market for aircraft line maintenance market around the world.
Moreover, an aircraft require line maintenance usually after every 6-8 months or depend on the flight hours. Increasing number of aircraft every year has also increased the number of aircraft that require enough maintenance to fly. This the driving factor for aircraft line maintenance market.
Furthermore, apart from commercial aircraft, military aircraft are also being procured by countries for national security purpose. The number of military aircraft is increasing for few years. This trend is likely to increase owing to growing concern for national security. Thus, military aircraft segment also possess potential market for aircraft maintenance market.
