Özet

© 2020 Alpha Publishers.Aviation is one of the high value-added and well-regulated industry. During the design and manufacturing phase, the aircraft manufacturing companies are focusing on the follow-on-support stage. A commercial aircraft’s lifespan is about 35 years depending on the operation conditions. When an airline operation company pays 1 unit to purchase an aircraft, support operations are approximately three times the initial purchase price. In other words, 4 units will be paid totally at the end of the life cycle by the airliner company. In this study, the relationship between the manufacturing and maintenance phase is investigated. It has been found that even a tiny difference that has been done during the manufacturing phase has vital importance on Life Cycle Cost (LCC).
