abstract = {The decision to internalize or outsource maintenance services for a fleet of aircraft is a dilemma that has a direct impact on costs, aircraft availability and the capability to perform the missions that they are assigned. The absence of a model capable of simulating real scenarios lead fleet managers to not accurately assess the impact of different maintenance options on the total life cycle cost of aircraft, as well as their operational availability or the administrative and logistical implications of the different options. This research proposes a model that simulates various maintenance configurations, from totally in-house maintenance to totally outsourced. The model takes into account information about the fleet, the components on board the aircraft, current maintenance contracts, in-house maintenance structure required and aircraft availability data. By simulating different scenarios and analyzing the impact of fleet size and investments required, the model makes it possible to identify the most efficient maintenance option in terms of cost-effectiveness, maximizing the operational availability x life cycle cost ratio.},
