At this year’s Aircraft Interiors EXPO in Hamburg, Germany, TIMCO Aerosystems delivered information on its new Cabin LifeCare™ program, aimed at providing airline customers with consistent levels of cabin reliability and aesthetics while containing cost. The program is in response to airlines’ escalating focus on the quality of the cabin environment in an increasingly competitive market for passengers. Most have developed individual sets of standards to create the attractiveness and comfort they hope will drive loyalty. The increased attention to seat condition, carpet cleanliness and worn part replacement has unfortunately increased cost and complexity. TIMCO plans to ease the burden airlines face working with multiple part manufacturers and service providers at different airport locations. Cabin LifeCare™ will reinvent the traditional approach to procuring, stocking and installing cabin spare parts through a jointly developed, fixed cost approach.

Rick Salanitri, President of TIMCO Aerosystems, explains, “A key to Cabin LifeCare™ is the spare part development and delivery pipeline. By focusing on spares availability and cost, then coupling the pipeline to our TIMCO LineCare™ network, we can offer a solution that adds significant value to the airline customer.“  He added, “Once we agree on the scope of ‘managed cabin parts’ aesthetic standards, optimal service locations and payment schedule, the burden of delivery is lifted from the customer and is managed for the duration by TIMCO.”

At designated airports within TIMCO’s LineCare™ network and at prospective partners’ locations, TIMCO will stock parts and train staff to address a wide variety of cabin refresh and repair activities. These can include spare and PMA parts replacement and seat, carpet and sidewall deep cleaning. Cabin LifeCare™ visits might even be optimized to cover customers’ other scheduled maintenance by TIMCO LineCare™ mechanics.
