• Maintenance cost benchmarking is essential to establish a target

• U.S. DoT Form 41 is one of the useful database for benchmarking

U.S. DoT

Form 41 Publications



U.S. DoT Form 41 Financial Data

• Published data collected by U.S. Department of

Transportation

• Includes maintenance cost data of all airlines in the U.S.

• Quarterly cost data by aircraft type by airline

• Huge database publicly available online from 1990 in a

consistent format

• No influence from currency exchange rate



Normalization of DoT Form 41 Data

• Aircraft age

• Outsource/In-house ratio

• Labor rates

• Average flight time

Model Adjustment – Family Aircraft

• Aircraft families (e.g. 737-700 and 737-800) have many common

systems which have almost the same maintenance cost

• Maintenance costs for each type are estimated by analyzing

specification differences between family aircraft

MRJ’s Low Maintenance Cost by Design

• State-of-the-art technology for cost reduction

- Composite material

- Full Fly-by-Wire

- LED/HID lighting

• Maintainability validation by digital & physical

mockups

• MSG-3 Analysis feedbacks

to MRJ design

• Engine maintenance cost

reduction by GTF engine



Summary

• Maintenance cost is the second largest element

in cash operating cost

• U.S. DoT Form 41 is useful data to benchmark

the maintenance costs of the competition

• Aircraft Manufacturers design aircraft to achieve

lower maintenance cost by design
