ACTS Feels It’s Paid Its Dues,
Seeks International Expansion
“Our Canadian footprint is going to be augmented
in different parts of the world,” says
Basil Papayoti, vp and chief commercial
officer with Air Canada Technical Services
(ACTS, Booth 410).
“We’ve been an airline-
affiliated MRO and
now we’re evolving into
an independent MRO
entity. We’ve got a vision
of growing and being a
major MRO player.”
“Legacy carriers are
struggling,” Papayoti observes, and Air
Canada has been no exception. “We are
competitive [as an MRO provider] because of
the trials and tribulations we went through in
restructuring,” he told Show News Briefing.
Besides Air Canada and Air Canada Jazz,
ACTS counts JetBlue, United, ABX Air,
Mexicana, Snecma, Chromalloy, Lufthansa
Technik, ILFC and Canada’s Department of
National Defence among its customers, and
can now include Delta.
ACTS sees international expansion as the
key to generating perhaps half of the carrier’s
level of sales by the end of the decade.
Negotiations are taking place in numerous
areas, Papayoti says, indicating that Central
and South America are likeliest first, especially
given the growth of regional jets in
those areas, and the disadvantage of taking
such aircraft to another continent for maintenance.
“We will be doing greenfield or
brownfields in different parts of the world,”
he says. Low labor costs are a priority.
ACTS is phasing in a refreshed look here,
one that according to Papayoti will be evolving
further. Watch for “an evolution of our
brand,” he says. “The brand is going to be
on a journey just as we have taken.”
