Impact of New Technology Aircraft 27

IMPACT OF NEW TECHNOLOGY AIRCRAFT The new technology fleet is set to grow significantly AIR TRANSPORT FLEET DEVELOPMENT BY TECHNOLOGY GROUPING OBSERVATIONS # Aircraft 40,000 35,000 30,000 25,000 20,000 15,000 [CELLRANGE [CELLRANGE ] ] 28k 34k 38k [CELLRANGE ] Segment, CAGR New, 32.7% Mature, -1.9% Old, -7.8% A fleet of new aircraft was introduced in the 2010s, as the A350 and B787 led a number of new re-engine aircraft types As the A320NEO and 737MAX enter service, the new technology fleet is set to grow significantly This category will grow at a ~33% CAGR over the next decade, and will represent nearly 50% of the total fleet by 2026, displacing older and mature aircraft 10,000 5,000 TOTAL = 3.2% 0 2016 2021 2026 Old: first flight <1990s, e.g. A300/A310 / 747-1/2/3 / BAe146 Mature: first flight >1990s, e.g. 737CL / 737NG / A330/340 / 777 / E-Jet New: first flight >2005; e.g. 787 / A350 / A380 / CSeries / E-Jet E2 Source: ICF 28

IMPACT OF NEW TECHNOLOGY AIRCRAFT MROs need to understand how best to realize value from the disparate terabytes of data generated by new technology aircraft LEGACY VS NEXT-GEN DATA TRANSFER CAPABILITY KEY ISSUES 767: 10,000 A320: 15,000 ~ 28MB ~1,100% ~ 137TB Stakeholder battle: who will control and profit from the operating data IP? Operators Lessors OEMs MRO suppliers Ownership and control of data, workscope and assets is key Big data analytics is a key enabler B787: 100,000 Big Data Analytics: Aircraft health monitoring < 1MB ~11T B Predictive maintenance Inventory optimization 777 787 2012 2022 Leading to Number of AHM Parameters Source: ICF Research Transmittable Data (MB/Flt) A/C Data Generated (TB/Year) Improved aircraft availability Reduced maintenance costs and improved cost control including optimized inventory 29

IMPACT OF NEW TECHNOLOGY AIRCRAFT New technology aircraft continue to challenge traditional MRO sourcing strategies 767 VS 787 HEAVY MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE THE CHALLENGES Getting a return on investment Facilities Tooling & Equipment Training IT Systems Implications for legacy infrastructure and staff as new aircraft enter into service Cost Savings: ~65% fewer routine airframe heavy maintenance man-hours drives an estimated savings of ~$3.5M Asset Utilization: ~90 additional available flying days enables increased revenue generation potential *Based on 4,000 FH/yr utilization 767 C-check = 18mo, 4C = 72mo; 787 C-check = 36mo, 4C = 144mo Assumed industry standard labor man-hour rate Aircraft out of Service (AooS) calculated for C/4C/8C checks assuming industry standard MRO hangar productivity 30

Considerations 31

CONSIDERATIONS In Conclusion The Air Transport MRO market outlook remains robust with expected growth of 4.1% per annum to reach ~$100B by 2026 MRO participants are promoting new value propositions to better meet operator and lessor needs across the lifecycle (and signing new partnerships along the way) Growth in New Technology Aircraft brings change that provides opportunities and challenges With a highly competitive aftermarket ecosystem, MROs need to continually identify how to win and invest to maintain leadership 32
