Around half the world's commercial fleet is owned by banks and lessors, not the airlines that fly it. VTAM is the engineer on the ground looking after that asset, from delivery to redelivery, based where your aircraft is.
We represent the owner's interest, not the operator's.
Roughly half of all commercial aircraft are financed or owned by institutions that never see the ramp. VTAM gives that ownership a qualified set of eyes on the aircraft, in Vietnam, throughout the lease.
An aircraft passes through the same journey for every owner. VTAM is present at each stage where value is protected or lost.
Before you commit capital or accept an aircraft on lease, we inspect it the way an owner should. Airframe, engines and configuration are checked against the technical claims, so what you sign for is what you actually receive.
Through the life of the lease we keep watch on how the aircraft is maintained. We attend checks, monitor the maintenance programme, and flag anything that puts airworthiness or return condition at risk while there is still time to correct it.
An aircraft is only worth what its records can prove. We work through the full record set, back to birth, checking traceability, airworthiness directives, life-limited parts, and compliance with the regulations and the conditions of your lease.
When an aircraft moves from one operator to the next, the detail is where value is lost. We manage the transition and redelivery end to end, from the return conditions to the final walk, so the handover is clean and nothing is left on the table.
The value of technical oversight is in being there. VTAM is built to sit where your aircraft sits, with people who know the ground and answer to you.
Your aircraft is managed locally, from Ho Chi Minh City, not remotely from another continent and time zone. When something needs eyes on it today, we are already there.
Our people have worked for and with Vietnam's airlines. We understand how aircraft here are operated, maintained and documented, and who to talk to.
We apply international best practice to every inspection and every record set, so an owner in any jurisdiction receives work they can rely on.
We are independent of any operator. Our only interest is protecting your asset and its return condition.
VTAM was founded by Bernie [surname — confirm], an aircraft maintenance engineer with years spent on the tools and in technical management. He works with a small team of engineers and records specialists in Vietnam, close to the aircraft and the operators they support.
The idea is simple. Owners and financiers rarely have their own engineer standing next to the aircraft in Vietnam. VTAM is that engineer, acting only for the owner and speaking the technical language on both sides.
Tell us the aircraft, the registration and what you need looked at. We will come back with how VTAM can help.
