The study is based on data from the financial statements of the airlines in the Association of Asia Pacific Airlines (AAPA) for the period of 2010-2015.

These results suggest that airlines need to rationalize supplies of aircraft spare parts inventory, increased the ability to recover cash from selling air transport products and strengthen collaborative relationships with suppliers in order to improve efficiency of working capital management, contribute to improve business efficiency.
