Customers’ demands high regularity, punctuality and safety. It is all about finding a balance in the maintenance program to be able to control costs and to deliver what the customers expect.

The study was carried out at Malmö Aviation, 2006-2007, the purpose was to establish a procedure for working with evaluation of Maintenance Program tasks based on conducted maintenance.
