Credit: Aviation Week Events

There's something for everyone in the MRO industry at MRO Americas. This year, it's held in Chicago's McCormick Convention Center, from Tuesday April 9th to Thursday 11th, where you can watch the maintenance competition in full swing, hear from industry stalwarts on the pressing topics of the moment,  including supply chain issues, recruiting the right talent and, of course, mixing and networking with like-minded peers across our thriving sector. 

Day Two

Breaking Down Barriers

Doug Parker, former American Airlines Chairman and CEO, and Co-founder of Breaking Down Barriers;  Martin Nesbitt, Co-CEO of The Vistria Group and Board Chair of the Obama Foundation; and Tammera Holmes, CEO of Aerostar Avion Institute are joining forces in this dynamic panel discussion to share their vision and plans for removing systemic and financial barriers to aviation careers for underrepresented youth and young adults. 

Attend this powerful session to find out what’s working as we break down the existing barriers to make way for the very best!.

Breakout Sessions

Get involved in the discussions surrounding supply chain challenges in the engines market.  Our own MRO editor covering the EMEA regions, James Pozzi, will moderate the discussions with insights from industry experts including AAR Corp, Delta TechOps, Standard Aero and Lufthansa Tecnik. 

Unpredictable supply chain issues are causing operational challenges across the industry, so how are OEMs, operators, and maintenance providers adjusting? What strategies work to mitigate these issues? How are MROs adjusting to tighter capacity constraints? With passenger demand soaring, what can be done to improve efficiencies, reduce TATs, and keep fleets in the air? 

The rest of the morning is as insightful including delving into the problems that GenAI is best suited to address; and the afternoon promises to be as fully loaded. 

Digitally Building Factory Visibility

Attend this hosted session for manufacturing and supply chain leaders in the aerospace segment. It is challenging to get visibility into the production system across multiple production lines and factories, especially when that data is stored in silos. Beta Technologies is working with Amazon Web Services to build cloud-based AI solutions that generate predictive and prescriptive insights to problems throughout their production and maintenance network.

Airline & Maintenance Panel

Don't miss the panel discussion with A4A’s Engineering, Maintenance, and Materiel Council (EMMC) and tech ops leaders from member airlines including Southwest Airlines, FedEx Express, UPS and United.  They will tackle airline engineering and maintenance and how to shape its future.
