Ensuring success of your fleet is no small challenge. Many moving parts come into play and, most likely, at the center of your operational strategy is your airport fleet maintenance plan. Your fleet’s preventive maintenance is imperative as it optimizes vehicle availability, keeps costs low and prevents costly repairs…ultimately, increasing profitability for the business.

Smart fleet managers recognize how much money can be wasted on what some might call reactive maintenance plans (as opposed to proactive airport fleet maintenance plans). Maintenance that kicks in when a breakdown or emergency occurs is disruptive to your overall business and impossible to plan for. By working with a skilled team such as Wiers Fleet Partner, preventive maintenance can be easily folded into your business plan.
