Cost Optimization & Restructuring Advisory
Cost benchmarking, asset utilization, and turnaround advisory for operators and investors.
Operational cost pressure, asset utilization gaps, and structural underperformance affect even well-run aviation businesses periodically. MARS supports operators and investors in identifying, sizing, and executing cost optimization, restructuring, and turnaround initiatives — with a focus on practical implementation rather than presentations that sit unread.
What we cover
- Operational cost benchmarking and gap analysis
- Asset utilization review (fleet, slot, gate, hangar)
- Maintenance cost optimization
- Procurement and supply chain restructuring
- Network and schedule rationalization
- Turnaround planning and execution support
- Commercial and operational restructuring for distressed assets or businesses
Who it's for
Operators under cost or yield pressure; investors managing underperforming assets; lessors managing returned or repossessed aircraft; distressed-asset acquirers planning operational reset.
How we engage
Engagements are structured around measurable outcomes — typically defined cost savings, utilization gains, or operational milestones — with implementation support included as part of the engagement rather than treated as a separate phase.
