| Flight Support maintains a substantial inventory of spare parts.
Most of the parts are for Pratt & Whitney JT8D engine models.
This inventory focuses heavily on the -15A, -17A and -200 series
engines. It is valued at in excess of $2,000,000.
The inventory is primarily utilized to service repair part customer
needs. Customers cannot wait the normal 30 to 45 days for completion
of the repair process of their parts. Accordingly, they are issued
an exchange set of parts which can be immediately installed into
the engine. There is no charge for this service.
As parts progress through the repair process, some are determined
to be non repairable. At a pre-agreed time, the customer is notified
of the number of parts which can be repaired. He is then charged
the known and accepted repair prices and replacement prices for
the parts in question. Both repair and replacement prices charged
are always agreed to ahead of time and are very competitive. |
