The Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul of Aircraft Industry in South Africa
South Africa has the most developed aviation maintenance, repair and overhaul industry on the continent, with significant technical capabilities. However, its position of strength has been undercut by the recent, rapid decline of the two largest aircraft maintenance organisations, South African Airways Technical (SAAT) and Denel Aeronautics.
2019 was a defining year for the local industry as Comair shifted its fleet maintenance contract from SAAT to Lufthansa Technik, facilitating the latter's arrival in the country at OR Tambo International Airport.
Challenging Conditions
The industry has been affected by the impact of the pandemic on flying and the disruption of supply chains for components and parts, the decline of SAAT and the global shift of original equipment manufacturers into the aftermarket. This was felt more acutely by those servicing commercial airlines.
Global trends point to increased barriers to trade for independent maintenance companies as airlines take their maintenance inhouse and original equipment manufacturers of aviation parts, components and systems place increasingly onerous quality-assurance, certification and royalty requirements on independents.
Outlook
The strong capabilities in the South African industry mean the country is well positioned to be a maintenance, repair and overhaul hub for the African continent.
Maintenance companies remained resilient in 2020 and 2021 despite restrictions grounding aircraft. Stakeholders point to improved fortunes in the general aviation market, which includes smaller planes and helicopters used for business, specialist services and recreation.
