10:30 - 10:35Opening Remarks

10:35 - 11:05MRO: Are Supply Chain Challenges Opening the Door to Alternative Parts?

With supply chain challenges being cited as the number one industry concern, how can potential solutions be sought for these wide-ranging problems? Across the region there are mixed views to what is causing these issues but top amongst them is parts availability. This is of particular concern as it is affecting the operational availability of aircraft, delivery timelines and extends shop visit duration. Hear from industry leaders about whether this is changing attitudes to alternative parts, including options such as PMA or DER, which have previously been underutilised in the region. Is it also changing the dynamics on the repair vs replace conversation? What are OEMs doing to mitigate the effect of the supply chain challenges? Do OEMs need to alter their approach to parts supply?

11:05 - 11:20Hosted Session by Ubisense: Closing the Data Gap by Transforming MRO Physical Space into Smart Space

MRO providers have lacked a way to track, measure, and control the many physical process flows involved in their business, with most operators having no way to reliably measure current productivity and therefore enable continuous improvement. Until now.
 
  • How to close data gaps and remove invisible waste across the Aircraft MRO industry by connecting the unconnected
  • Digitize the gaps and give new levels of insight to existing business applications and users
  • Define processes and detect deviations in real-time with Digital-Process Twins of real-world operations, unlocking new levels of breakthrough performance.

11:20 - 11:35MRO Data Blast: Update on the regional cargo market- Part 1

Hear an update from the region's cargo market. What are the latest numbers on aircraft retirements for P2F conversions? How many freighters are being built? What does the future look like?

11:35 - 12:10MRO: Insight into the Regional Cargo Market- Part 2

With the rise of passenger demand there has been a reduction in the number of aircraft being retired for either P2F conversion or parts. What are the most important factors for the operators and lessors when considering retiring their aircraft for P2F? The increased demand for P2F requires additional facilities, what are the key factors MROs have to consider when making the switch from commercial aviation to P2F? Can we expect any changes to the ease of importing aviation goods or tax free zones?

12:10 - 12:50MRO: Leasing Vs Buying- How to Optimise Fleet Management

Explore the state of the leasing market and get an update on the latest facts and figures. The past decade has seen an international trend for increased fleet proportions to be leased rather than owned. However, the Middle East has always been more highly weighted in the owning side of the scale, until recently.  Gain insights into whether attitudes in the Middle East are changing towards leasing and what factors are influencing the change. How are operators accessing the trade-offs between leasing and buying? Looking to the future what proportions of fleets in the Middle East will be leased vs owned and what further implications could this have?

12:50 - 13:05AIME : Presentation: Why is your cabin experience not as smart as your phone?

In the future of digitized and connected cabins, airlines can revolutionize passenger experience by delivering personalized content, boosting revenue, and optimizing operations. It's about shaping a seamless and enjoyable journey for travelers while driving growth and efficiency for airlines.

13:05 - 13:35 AIME: Fireside : Addressing the Challenges face by Airlines in Upkeep, Maintenance and Repair of Cabin Interiors.

Due to high passenger usage, cabin interiors deteriorate fast and need regular upkeep and repairs. The experts in this panel will delve into the challenges faced by the airlines in maintaining the appearance and functionality of cabin, galley and lavatory equipment; more over with limited post-warranty support by OEMs. With the rapid technological advancement, these parts are becoming obsolete faster than the previous decades, thus the obsolescence leads to decline in OEM support for older models and their parts. This session will deliberate on how independent repairs shops and DOAs are increasingly becoming important to support the cabin maintenance of airlines, offering solutions through complex repairs and reverse engineering of parts that have high recurring expense and long lead time or no longer supported by OEMs. 
 
 

13:35 - 13:55AIME: Fireside: Exploring Opportunities and Challenges in Retrofitting Aircraft Interiors

This session dives deep into the world of retrofitting aircraft interiors, exploring how airlines can unlock hidden potential, optimize space, and elevate passenger experience, all while tackling technical and financial challenges.

13:50 - 14:20MRO: Sustainability - Where are we now?

 
OEMs discuss sustainability initiatives in the Middle East: 
●        What are the future developments in sustainable technology in the next 12 months, 3 years and then looking into the next decade?
●        The industry has set a 2050 deadline for net zero emissions - what is the current status of green technology? What has been achieved? What changes have been made and what impacts are being felt? Is the 2050 goal a realistic one?
●       Can we expect the Middle Eastern governments to be investing in more sustainability over the coming years?

14:20 - 14:55MRO: Aero-Engines Focus: Maintenance Contracts & Increasing Capacity

Engine MRO capacity continues to be a challenge for the region, constrained by a lack of skilled labor and a shortage of parts repair availability, while ongoing durability problems are causing an increasing number of shop events. Against this backdrop, what trends do the panel see in the structure of maintenance agreements between engine lessors, airlines and OEMs? How is this changing on new generation engines?
 

14:55 - 15:25AIME: Impact of 3D Printing on Cabin Supply Chains, Lead Times, and Sustainability

Join us for an insightful discussion on how 3D printing is revolutionizing the aircraft interiors industry by enabling the production of alternate spare parts. Our panel of experts will explore how 3D printing technology is reshaping supply chains, reducing lead times, and driving sustainability in cabin maintenance. From innovative materials to post-processing techniques, discover how 3D printing is empowering airlines to overcome challenges and create a more sustainable future for cabin maintenance.
