Most airlines have a limited man-power in the Powerplant Engineering Group. Their engineers are typically focused in maintaining the fleet of engines in operation, limiting the available time for auditing the invoices generated during the repair of the engines.
During the past years, GTS has specialized in the Invoice Review activity and its team of qualified professionals is prepared to provide the necessary support for the process of reviewing these invoices.

The proposal is very simple: After receiving the basic Shop Visit documentation, GTS will perform a detailed analysis of the invoice to identify the opportunities of obtaining credits from both the Repair Station and from the manufacturer of the engine.
The documentation to be provided by the operator consists basically of: - Commercial Invoice - Maintenance Agreement between the operator and the Repair Station - Workscope (Statement of Work) - Shop Visit Report - List of replaced parts - List of scrapped parts
