Mubadala’s Sanad Brings Sanity To Spares Management
Sanad Aero Solutions's mission is to take the hassle and inherent inefficiency of spare parts supply management off the shoulders of aircraft operators.

Abu Dhabi's Mubadala launched Sanad Aero Solutions launched in February 2010 as part of a plan to achieve more in the maintenance repair and overhaul sector than simply being a small niche player. The company’s mission is to take the hassle and inherent inefficiency of spare parts supply management off the shoulders of aircraft operators.

“A recurring theme [for the airlines] around 2008 and 2009 was the desire to have spares solutions,” explained CEO Troy Lambeth. “We did a study and found that the industry was holding more than $35 billion worth of spares inventory in engines and rotable components alone, and with some 12,000 more aircraft to be delivered over a 10-year period, this would add another $18 billion in inventory. We decided that we had to be able to bring some value to that situation.”
