Manage episode 434066595 series 3579751
Aspire MRO and Launch Technical Workforce Solutions are working together on a large project to convert triple sevens from passenger to freighter. The demand for these conversions is driven by the aging wide body fleet and the need for more efficient and environmentally friendly aircraft. The project involves extensive engineering and installation work, with Mammoth handling the engineering and parts acquisition and Aspire MRO handling the installations. The process of getting the STC and engineering done takes several months, and once that is completed, the production phase begins. Aspire MRO is focused on creating a culture that attracts and retains talented technicians, and they are also prioritizing diversity in their workforce. Aspire MRO and Launch Technical Workforce Solutions have formed a successful partnership based on trust, collaboration, and a shared culture. Aspire MRO provides maintenance, repair, and overhaul services for the aviation industry, while Launch Technical Workforce Solutions supplies skilled technicians. The key to their success lies in attracting and retaining the right people, paying competitive rates, offering overtime opportunities, and providing a path to promotion and leadership. The companies have also embraced digitalization, going paperless and implementing efficient processes that improve productivity and accountability.
