One of the most important requirements for maintaining an aircraft airworthy is that the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance must be completed within the specified periods. Airlines that execute optimally aircraft maintenance planning may minimize maintenance costs, which account for 18–23% of direct operating costs, to a minimum level. Airlines that can maintain their maintenance expenses as low as possible have a competitive advantage. Furthermore, the methodologies developed for the efficient use of resources in aircraft maintenance contribute to future generations’ capacity to satisfy their demands, that is, sustainability. The approaches in aircraft maintenance management are investigated with a historical perspective in this chapter to reveal the relationship between maintenance management and sustainability, depending on the development of the aviation industry.
