August has been a faster month in terms of recovery for aviation companies. Growing demand for air travel and airplane maintenance saw a positive outcome in the industry. As the need for airplane maintenance grew, the engine stand market also experienced a rise and is expected to continue to remain lucrative. Given that some regions of the world have been emerging from the COVID-19 curse sooner than others, their airlines have been more aggressive restoring planes to service. For instance, in response to rising domestic air travel numbers, Chinese airlines have put back into service 91 percent of the aircraft they sent to storage, meaning the fleet is quickly approaching pre-COVID levels.

With the slowdown of business aviation around the world due to the COVID-19 pandemic, various companies are actively performing component checks and inspections to maintain high standards for future operations. In the month of August, the main players in the engine stand market boasted a strong inventory of tools, with some providers offering stands for as much as 25 aircraft types in service. Engine Transportation Stands are aircraft tools commonly used to remove, installation and transportation large heavy gasoline or diesel engines. They accept and secure the engine and support cradle to enable mobility and satisfactory transportation by land or air.

The engine is, no doubt, one of the most crucial parts within the aircraft; therefore, its maintenance is often the key priority for the airlines.
