The role of directors of maintenance (DOM) has evolved beyond ensuring the top condition of aircraft, encompassing responsibilities such as recruiting, training, budget management, and staying abreast of new technologies. Four critical areas identified by attendees at a CALS event include maintaining older aircraft, addressing staffing challenges, effective budgeting, and adopting technological innovations.
To cope with post-pandemic growth, DOMs are managing legacy aircraft with parts shortages, emphasizing the importance of suppliers and third-party providers for continued airworthiness. Staff recruitment proves challenging, urging the aviation industry to attract young talent, and while technology-savvy recruits are available, retaining them remains an issue. Budget constraints impact maintenance decisions, necessitating effective communication on the long-term benefits of well-trained technicians.

Overall, collaboration and information-sharing are essential for today’s corporate aircraft operators and maintainers to navigate evolving challenges successfully.
