TECHNOLOGY technology that could potentially render you obsolete ,” he says .
Technology implementation in the aviation space is slower moving when compared to other industries . The development of a new aircraft type , and bringing that to market , can take from 15 to 20 years . Bringing the same technology industry approach to the aviation sector , Book believes is a big competitive advantage .
“ Bringing that mindset to aviation has allowed us to evolve and grow the JSSI business very quickly by delivering new and innovative solutions , expanding our product portfolio and taking steps to create differentiation from our competitors ,” says Book .
Size , scope and scale JSSI has close to 2,000 aircraft listed on its maintenance programs . If the company was an airline , it would be the largest in the world . JSSI is buying maintenance services on behalf of those 2,000 aircraft and the cost savings and superior service represent significant customer benefits .
“ An operator on one of our maintenance programs has the benefit of JSSI ’ s scale ,” says Book . “ We allow an operator with one , two or three aircraft to have the buying power of 2,000 aircraft behind them .”
JSSI ’ s maintenance programs synthesize maintenance costs into an hourly rate . For an operator on a maintenance program , JSSI offers coverage of any unscheduled or scheduled maintenance events .
“ If an operator informs us of how many hours they plan to fly , JSSI can provide an exact quote for how much it will cost to maintain that aircraft ,” says Book .
It is this budget stability , cost reduction and level of service that in turn generates a higher residual value for an aircraft . Book identifies this as a key part of their value proposition .
The perfect product With close to 2,000 aircraft and 1,300 customers , Book is keen to stress that providing each customer with the individual interaction and touch point that they deserve is integral to the business . JSSI has over 100 technical advisers stationed all around the world to meet the needs
