The Maintenance Costs of Aging Aircraft: Insights from Commercial Aviation

Abstract

This monograph examines "aging effects" - i.e., how commercial aircraft maintenance costs change as aircraft grow older. Although commercial aircraft clearly differ from military aircraft, commercial aviation aging-effect estimates might help the Air Force to project how its maintenance costs will change over time.
