Airlines are considering applying a new plastic film to airplanes instead of paint. It is clear that airlines should adopt this new technology right away, since it would reduce the time that an airplane is out of service for maintenance. When an airplane is taken out of service for maintenance, it is often repainted. During repainting, no other maintenance work can be done on the plane, but other maintenance tasks can be done while the nontoxic plastic film is being applied. In addition, switching to the film would not increase maintenance costs in labor and materials, since the film is as quick to apply as paint without being more expensive.
