Our client was looking to better understand the industry structure, key players, and market size based on labor cost related to airside airport maintenance in the US.
The objective was to provide a comprehensive assessment of the airside airport maintenance industry structure, including opportunities for task replacement by automated work vehicles (AWV).
10EQS conducted interviews with key airport maintenance personnel at major US airports, combined with quantitative data from desk research, to estimate the market size based on labor costs. 10EQS assessed airside maintenance structure and services, the role of the US Federal Regulation, as well as a structural analysis of market size, labor costs, organizational structure, and industry pain points. For each of the target airports, 10EQS provided insights on the organizational structure, roles and responsibilities, labor and equipment rates, vehicles & equipment.
The research revealed that the market for airside maintenance services in the US is set to grow strongly by 2032 and that labor rates are high and increasing. Airside maintenance is predominantly conducted in-house using a team comprising both skilled and unskilled laborers.
