Brazil’s Azul Linhas Aereas Brasileiras faces $72 million in costs to overhaul nearly half of its 76 engines over the next 36 months, Australia’s Virgin Blue $64 million on 89% of its 36 engines, and Republic Airlines $60 million on 88% of its 34 engines.
The biggest overhaul bill by country is for U.S. carriers, which account for nearly a quarter of the overhaul needs and costs. Air Canada, by itself, accounts for 16%.
