Aircraft maintenance is one of important factor which influence the safety of aircraft. Expense used on MRO is 10%-20% in total cost for airlines. Fierce competition leads to more short maintenance period and higher quality for MRO. Now Boeing and Airbus aircraft introduced by our country have adopted many new technology and material. In order to face those situations, modern civil aviation needs to adopt new technology, service and Human Resource.With many years in aviation maintenance, I have been quite familiar with realities and background of Chinese civil aviation.
