JSSI—best known for its hourly cost maintenance programs—is at the Aero Friedrichshafen show promoting a group-wide service portfolio that now includes specialist software, aircraft finance, and a parts and engines division. According to the U.S.-based company, it now supports more than 6,500 aircraft worldwide, representing around 30% of the global business jet fleet.
According to Fabrice Roger, JSSI’s executive vice president for business development, there has never been a more pressing need for operators to have access to support provided independently from aircraft manufacturers. “We are providing these services in a very challenging environment with operators dealing with economic pressure from [rising costs for] fuel, maintenance and labor,” he told AIN. “Operators are usually the first to be blamed when something goes wrong; our goal is to make sure they can keep flying.”
