1. A computing device for use in detecting maintenance events and maintenance intervals, said computing device comprising a processor coupled to a memory, said computing device is configured to:

  • receive aircraft usage data for at least one carrier;

    identify at least one potential maintenance event in the usage data;

    identify at least one actual maintenance event in the usage data at least by comparing the usage data for a first aircraft of the at least one carrier to the usage data for a second aircraft of the at least one carrier during each potential maintenance event;

    determine, based at least in part on the usage data, that a decrease in usage of the first aircraft and the second aircraft is due to an exogenous event;

    store an indication in said memory that the decrease in usage is due to the exogenous event;

    determine an indicator used by each carrier for scheduling maintenance events; and

    determine a maintenance interval for each carrier for an aircraft model associated with at least the first aircraft.
