Irish aviation services firm Avia Solutions Group is pencilling in higher maintenance expenses from potential tariffs that would affect its aircraft charter business, with those costs eventually being passed on to airline passengers.

The firm specialises in short-term leasing of aircraft and crew to airlines, which typically use Avia to boost capacity during busy seasons.
