Lo Cost Maintenance

In my experience with both EZY and RYN, their maintenance programme in many areas are in excess of the MPD (Boeing/Airbus Maintenance Planning Data). The whole premise of Low Cost is High Utilisation = heavy use of the aircraft in excess of the Boeing/Airbus assumed standard/average utilisation. Therefore LCCs have adjusted their maintenance programmes to reflect the high utilisation and therefore aim to make the aircraft as reliable as possible.
