Joining the conversation from Aeras Aviation are Mark Healey, Director, Repairs Management, and Aled Silverthorne, Senior Procurement & Repair Executive. Together, they discuss how independent repair shops support repair capacity, technical flexibility, supplier relationships, turnaround times, and the broader engine aftermarket ecosystem.
