Introduction
Aviation risk management provides the impression of being single idea that is attained

for aviation industry. Present study deals with the present engineering business environment as
well as organizational structure of Delta Aviation, an Aircraft Service organization. Logistics and
supply chain management, process of dealing with supply chain and ensuring buy-in from the
suppliers are described in the study. In addition, the engineering management tools required to
design an engineering services and delivery plan for aviation sector, evaluation of the delivery
plan encounters the requirements of aviation sector are discussed in the present paper. Any
emergencies that might prevent success of the delivery plan for Delta Aviation is evaluation in
the study. On the other hand, the steps for effective persuasion as well as negotiation, the steps to
manage effective group meetings and delivering effective presentation and the steps of delivering
plan developed encounters the needs of a sector is discussed along with personal commitment to
