An airline complained of OEM prices and no PMA alternatives. ATCO brought in a quality manufacturing partner who grasped the challenge, swiftly engineered a PMA solution and, within a year, saved the airline thousands of dollars.

Recently the world’s 2nd largest commuter-regional airline contacted ATCO pointing out yet another OEM part that was clearly overpriced. There was no PMA alternative for the part, a complex seal that no manufacturer wanted to touch.

Early in the year, ATCO accepted the airline’s challenge to find a PMA solution. By spring the part was finished and FAA approved. By autumn, ATCO and its PMA manufacturing partner had saved the airline over $45 thousand dollars.
