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 capital is committed, or an aircraft is accepted onto your books, somebody independent should stand in front of it and check that what is being handed over is what was described.
Through the life of the lease we keep watch on how the aircraft is maintained, attend the checks that matter, and flag what would become expensive if it were left until the end.
An aircraft is only worth what its records can support. We work through the full set, back to birth, against both the regulations and the conditions written into your lease.
The detail of a handover is where value is quietly lost. We manage the transition and the redelivery from the owner's side, from the return conditions through to the final walk.
The jobs that do not fit a category, but still need an engineer. AOG assessment, storage oversight, borescope attendance, technical support to a valuation — taken on individually, at any size.
Inspections, heavy maintenance, conversions and transitions. Real projects, photographed on site.
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.
Managed from Ho Chi Minh City, not from another time zone.
We have worked for and with Vietnam's airlines, and we know who to talk to.
International best practice applied to every inspection and every record set.
Independent of any operator. Our only interest is your asset.
VTAM was founded by Bernie McCune, 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.
