I am not denying Ecuador cases.. we take responsibility and take back faulty equipment or repair them if possible. We dont wash our hands off after sale.
Again, not claiming that the aircraft were faulty.
PS . Lets get back to the topic though. Peace out.
You don't wash your hands off after sale? Like we do huh lol that's your implication.
You couldn't wash your hands. 4 out of 7 ordered Indian Dhruv had problems and crashed. They wanted to cancel the order. This isn't remotely about after sales. After sales is like whether or not you will fix problems or provide support. It isn't clear in Nepal case if the Chinese side offered after sales support. The article doesn't mention. It doesn't say the Chinese denied supplying parts and denied talking to Nepal Airlines because the article only says they couldn't afford to spend money on parts and maintenance and keep the vehicle running in profit. Essentially money in is 1000 units but maintenance, parts, and pilot is 1500 units. So they couldn't make the business model work with that aircraft. This has more to do with their business than it does with how much the parts and maintenance cost. Probably very little but we don't know and they just didn't have enough income from operating that aircraft to justify those costs. Maybe another business can make profit using that aircraft.
Like one factory cannot make profit from Machine A because this factory is poorly run and has few customers that require Machine A. While another factory uses Machine A at a profit and can afford maintenance for the machine.
While in Ecuador case, india doesn't get to say it is a responsible after sales support offerer lol because there is no after sales support in question when we're talking about the customer being so annoyed at problems with the machine itself that it cancels the contract. You can't say oh we offered good after sales let's congratulate ourselves.
Unlike the Chinese aircraft supplied to Nepal Airlines that functioned without fault, the Indian helicopter supplied to Ecuador had 4 crashes out of 6 supplied (out of 7 ordered I think correct me if these are wrong).
Clearly the Nepal aircraft from China had after sales support since the article says that Nepal Airlines could not afford to keep the line running.
This implies that they approached the manufacturer for parts and maintenance and the cost even if very affordable and reasonable (we don't know) was more than Nepal Airlines was getting business for this particular route that they use this aircraft for.
In business this is quite common.
Many, many, many airlines have gone out of business over the decades. The aircraft they use are often fine and the manufacturers offered great after sales support. The airlines going out of business isn't because no after sales support but because of a myriad of business and economic reasons. Very different to the Dhruv example.
Yeah and peace out. You wanted to drag this silly Nepal Airline example where you make a mountain out of a molehill so don't be surprised when others pick back.
