SLAZAK Aviation Consulting

SLAZAK Aviation Consulting is an independent advisory based in Warsaw. It works with MROs, CAMOs, operators and private jet owners. MRO means maintenance, repair and overhaul. CAMO means a continuing airworthiness management organization.

They call this both sides of the invoice. The founder has run the maintenance organization that writes the quote, and has sat with owners who read it and ask what is needed. The practice is led by Cezary Slazak, founder.

MRO consulting

This is the core of their work with maintenance organizations for business jets and commercial aircraft. They start with the problem, then agree scope. They look at the records and the floor with the client's people. They leave changes the client's team can run without them.

• Turnaround and performance: throughput, turnaround times, production planning, workforce structure, overtime control.
• Setup, certification and scope extension: new organizations, additional approvals, extensions of scope, and preparation for audits and foreign authority approvals by checking manuals, procedures, records and real hangar work against what the authority will test, then fixing gaps with the client's team.
• Systems and digitalization: MRO software selection and implementation, paperless workflows, digital task management, and AI for documentation, search, planning and defect trend analysis.
• Interim technical leadership: a Director of Maintenance or Accountable Manager for the period needed, with a planned handover.

Result: in one three year role as Executive Director, revenue roughly doubled, overtime was roughly halved on a flat payroll, and turnaround came down by about a third on selected lines.

CAMO and operator consulting

They work with CAMO teams and operators: corporate flight departments, charter and management companies, and airlines. This is the side that buys, plans and answers for the airworthiness of the fleet. The three questions on every fleet are: is the aircraft where the records say it is, does the maintenance being bought match what the aircraft needs, and does anybody own the total cost before it is committed.

• Audit and turnaround: program control, AD and SB tracking, records, the airworthiness review process, people and software.
• Building a new CAMO from zero to approval: scope and structure, procedures, nominated persons, software, and the application to the authority through the first airworthiness review.
• CAMO and MRO alignment: one shared view of scope, progress and cost.
• Fleet planning for airlines: heavy maintenance planning, cost control, MRO selection and oversight, lease return prep.

Private jet owners and family offices

They take the owner's side alone.

• Acquisition: specification and equipment, interior and completion, technical review, pre-purchase oversight, acceptance and test flights, delivery; no brokering and no commission.
• Entry into service: the right CAMO and maintenance organization, the registry, and insurance through a broker they work with.
• Independent review: review proposals and challenge what does not hold before work is authorized.
• Representation and supervision: with CAMO, operator, MRO and the manufacturer; present during heavy checks, including abroad.
• Records, sale and redelivery: logbooks, ADs, service bulletins, and early preparation so findings appear while there is time.

They hold no maintenance approval, own no hangar or workshop, do not sell parts or labor, and do not broker aircraft. Nothing they earn grows when your work scope grows. They also tell the owner when work is justified.

How they work

Three steps: first understand the situation by following real maintenance events. Then stabilize the flow between planning, production and CAMO. Then build something that lasts. They work alongside the client's teams, not above them.

Confidentiality is contractual and does not expire. A non-disclosure agreement can be signed before any detail is discussed. Engagements are project based or retained, agreed in advance. No hourly surprises.
