What is CSP?
Guarantees cost
Component Support Program (CSP) offers a fixed cost per flight hour that allows for control of
Direct Maintenance Costs (DMC), reduces the need of spares inventory and maximizes
Operational Availability (OA).
During the multi-year contract duration, operators are in control of their
maintenance costs based on predictable flight hour usage. This allows
for consistent budgeting and enables operators to optimize working
capital.
Mitigates risk
The responsibility for unplanned component replacement costs due to
unscheduled maintenance events is transferred to Airbus Helicopters Inc.
