Keynote Address: Accelerating Tomorrow, Powering Progress: Navigating Growth, Innovation and Resilience in Aerospace
Aviation Week Network Market Forecast An exclusive insight into the outputs from Aviation Week’s 2025 Fleet & MRO Forecast. Updating you on critical market trends including shop visit forecasts, utilization and fleet deliveries. |
Panel Discussion: Scale & Scope of Current Generation Narrowbody Engine Shop Visits in 2025
As industry experiences a projected peak in CFM56 shop visits in 2025 (Aviation Week Network 2025 Fleet & MRO Forecast). What maintenance strategies are MROs utilizing to meet requirements for CFM56 and IAE V2500 powerplants? In 2025 and through the subsequent period of high demand for overhaul; what steps must be taken to stop demand exceeding supply?
Aeroxchange Hosted Session: Development of Global Engine Trading Marketplace This session will explore the current use of the Aero Compass trading platform, highlighting the key pain points precluding improved turnaround times (TAT). We will discuss challenges to efficiency and progress in digital records within the engine trading industry. The session will conclude with audience Q&A.

Panel Discussion: LEAP: Collaborating in an Emerging Maintenance Market
LEAP shop visits are projected to steadily grow towards 2030, with substantial increases expected into 2029 (Aviation Week Network 2025 Fleet & MRO Forecast). With the aftermarket still scaling up between ‘Premier MRO’ network partners and independent MROs, what are the major challenges in preparing for the end of the decade? What additional support can be given to airlines seeking longer term maintenance contracts?
Presentation: Engine Technology Cycles: Assumptions, Challenges, and Sustainability Within the transition to the next generation of engine technologies, what key assumptions have been made around fleet efficiency and cost-effectiveness? How do these assumptions hold up when challenged by real-world performance, how is this impacting the drive to sustainability, and what does this all mean for the future of commercial aviation? This presentation explores recent market data and examines the impact of these factors on fleet management decisions and maintenance economics. |
Panel Discussion: Harnessing AI to Drive Efficiency in Engine Maintenance
Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications have a transformative role in enhancing efficiency in engine maintenance. What are the latest use cases and examples where AI is making a tangible impact on day-to-day operations? What are the biggest challenges in translating technology potential into cost savings?

Aviation Week Data Blast: Retirements
With a slow supply chain and OEM production issues, aircraft retirements have slowed dramatically over the past few years. Take a quick look at Aviation Week Network’s retirement forecast with a backdrop of a historical perspective. See the degree of impact these changes have created in the market.
Panel Discussion: Asset Availability & Downstream Implications What is the panel’s response to the data presented? What are the impacts of retirement levels on asset and USM availability, repair demand, component prices and overhaul demand? Considering specific powerplants, how are material levels impacting overhaul economics and maintenance strategies?

Ramco Systems Hosted Session: Digital Solutions for Faster Turnaround and Cost Efficiency
Aircraft engine maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) industry is facing unprecedented demand for shop visits due to multiple reasons ranging from deferred newer aircraft deliveries, pent-up engine MRO demand necessitated by deferred legacy engine shop visits, increased repairs to newer generation engines. This is further fuelled by capacity constraints and shortage of parts at hangars to service engines. This has led to increased turnaround times (TATs) impacting airline fleet availability and escalating operational costs.
The session delves into how Engine MROs can navigate these challenges by embracing digital technologies such as AI and Automation in the entire value chain to deliver cost reduction, improved turnaround times and increased revenue recognition.
Panel Discussion: Turn-around-Times on Material Repairs The USM market remains constrained, driven by low retirements and high demand for material. It is therefore critical that once material has been removed, the condition can be assessed, necessary repairs carried out, and parts be refitted efficiently. What are the key bottlenecks in the teardown and repair businesses, and how can more certainty be given to customers?
