Narrowbody focus: Keeping the balance between current and next generation engines
Ongoing demand for current generation narrowbody engines is driving heavier engine work scopes for the CFM56 and the V2500. How can we assess and manage resource allocation between current and new generation engines as the LEAP network grows? Can smart forecasting keep the balance as the GTF and LEAP ramp up? What new opportunities will become available to the market as we head toward the in-service inflection point?

RAMCO hosted session: Digital solutions for faster turnaround and cost efficiency
Aircraft engine MRO 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 next generation engines. This is further fuelled by capacity constraints and shortage of parts at hangars to service engines leading 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 efficiency and increased revenue recognition.
