Maximize value while minimizing the cost of on-site representation
Maintaining an on‑site representative entails substantial recurring expenses; accommodation, transportation, and meal costs can total several thousand dollars per month

Maintaining a full‑time resident representative at the manufacturer can be costly and inefficient. Delivery firing order release schedules are frequently organized in blocks, producing extended intervals of minimal activity for an on‑site representative; an underutilized, high‑cost resource delivers limited operational value. Extended deployments also increase lodging, transportation, and per diem liabilities—often compounded when family accompany the assignee.
We offer scalable support models that optimize cost while preserving delivery quality and program continuity. For example:
1. Factory‑based scope: AEAI assumes responsibility for in‑process manufacturing oversight, area closures, and interior/exterior zonal inspection reviews performed in the factory, and coordinates findings with your quality organization to eliminate duplicated effort at acceptance.
2. Targeted on‑site engagement: Your resident representative is deployed for the onset of flight‑line testing to oversee initial field operational testing and both manufacturer and customer flight activities.
This hybrid approach reduces on‑site headcount and deployment expenditure while ensuring aircraft are delivered complete and ready for immediate entry into service—protecting schedule integrity and minimizing lifecycle risk.
