HAECO is pleased to present a keynote address on "Safety, Innovation, and Collaboration: The Path Forward in Aero Engines." As the aviation industry stands at a remarkable crossroads of growth and complexity, this address will highlight the vital role of safety in operations, the importance of innovation in technology, and the necessity for collaboration across the sector. Attendees will gain valuable insights into the evolving landscape of aero engines, the emerging challenges, and the strategic opportunities that will shape the future of aviation. This keynote will consist of a short presentation, before turning to a moderated Q&A session with James Pozzi, Aviation Week Network’s MRO Editor, EMEA.
Aviation Week Network Forecast A regional specific update on Aviation Week’s 2026 Fleet and MRO Forecast. Updating you on critical market trends including shop visit forecasts, retirements, and fleet deliveries. |
The supply chain in Asia remains uncertain with ongoing component shortages and production delays. How are regional players continuing to manage these bottlenecks? With shifting market dynamics, what tactics and strategic partnerships are proving effective to ensure supply chain resilience?
Panel Discussion: Accommodating Next-Technology Engine Maintenance Demands The region is seeing an increase in both deliveries and maintenance demands, specifically amongst LEAP-1A and GTF engine types. With this in mind, how are MRO processes being adjusted to accommodate a growth in number of next-technology assets in the market? How can we balance this with mature engine maintenance requirements? What systematic approaches are in place to balance unplanned shop visits with scheduled maintenance?
|
Recent developments in engine shop facilities have seen significant growth in regional MRO potential, specifically in China and Southeast Asia. This session will explore real-world examples of new facilities in region, how key regional players are evaluating risk and where they are seeing opportunities for further growth.
Panel Discussion: Maintenance Support Agreements and Cost Protection An update and future outlook on engine maintenance support agreements. What kind of contracts are being used more frequently as alternatives to ‘Power-by-the-Hour' (PBH)? What are the benefits of different agreements, such as ‘fixed price’ and ‘time and material’ structures against PBH? This session will discuss how airlines can manage rising costs as the nature of maintenance agreements change.
|
An insight into the USM market, and its potential to mitigate supply chain challenges. Taking a procurement focus, what are current attitudes towards using USM for mature narrowbody and widebody engines. How is this affecting material sourcing processes throughout the region?
Panel Discussion: Harnessing AI Within Engine Maintenance Artificial Intelligence (AI) remains prevalent within the engine market as a tool to streamline MRO processes, enhancing cost efficiency and reliability. How are maintenance providers utilizing digital systems to improve record management and tracking processes to improve workflows? How are predictive technologies being employed to track engine health and performance?

The industry-wide challenge of attracting and retaining a skilled workforce prevails, notably in the Asia-Pacific region. As technicians migrate from Asia to work in the Middle East and Europe, how are organisations tackling a talent shortage in Asia? This session will explore current training initiatives and talent pipeline development strategies, as well as how organisations are expanding their recruitment beyond local borders.
Fireside Chat: OEM Aftermarket Support How do OEMs plan to continue to support the capacity of next-technology engine models? Hear how OEMs have worked alongside operators to streamline maintenance to reduce turnaround times and unplanned shop visits. What significant strategic partnerships have we seen across the region to aide this?
|
As next technology engines ramp up in Asia, how are lessors dealing with a mixed fleet, whilst supporting availability within an increasingly constrained market? Are there any strategies in place to work alongside airlines to ensure their needs are met? What does the future of the narrowbody market look like for lessors?
