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?
