Top executives and government officials from all sectors of Europe`s aviation industry will convene 18-20 October at the Estrel Hotel & Convention Center in Berlin to explore the future of aviation maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) during Aviation Week`s annual MRO Europe Conference & Exhibition. The event features executive-level discussions and a sold out exhibition hall with more than 175 MRO product and services suppliers.
Europe accounts for almost one-third of the $36 billion global commercial and regional/business jet MRO market. Three key trends emerged in 2004 and continue to shape the European MRO market: increased outsourcing of MRO activities; the steadily growing use of parts manufacturer approval (PMA) parts; and continued consolidation.
MRO Europe addresses these distinctive issues as well as the following critical topics and the broader topic of global MRO:
- Low-cost carriers outsourcing non-core activities
- Ongoing cost cutting measures contributing to rise in outsourcing of more non-core activities
- Increased use of PMA parts in European markets
- Numerous consolidations in the European MRO industry triggered by overcapacity and declining margins
The MRO Market in Europe is a unique environment, partly driven by the large percentage of low-cost carriers, the increased outsourcing, and smaller average fleet sizes, said Kenneth E. Gazzola, Aviation Week Group Executive Vice President/Publisher. Participants at MRO Europe will get a unique insight into these issues, as well as experience the full range of business, technological and operational developments and trends in the MRO marketplace.
MRO Europe, the largest and most important event for the European aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul industry, gives airline maintenance professionals the opportunit to connect with the MRO industry through presentations and panel discussions, and a sold-out exhibit hall. It draws more than 2000 top executives and government officials from all sectors of Europe`s aviation industry.
