NEW YORK, Aug. 29, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aviation Week’s MRO Europe (#MROE), the largest gathering of the aviation maintenance community in Europe, is returning to the RAI Amsterdam, October 16-18, and planning some new networking opportunities to engage attendees and showcase to sold-out exhibition floor.
Focused on commercial aviation maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO), the industry’s largest event in Europe features speakers from airlines, OEMs, regulators, suppliers, lessors, and service providers. Sponsors include CFM, Chromalloy, HEICO, Pratt & Whitney, Satair Group, StandardAero and UTC Aerospace Systems at the Platinum Level.
Attendance at MRO Europe is expected to surpass the 8,000 registered mark, with more than 600 delegates representing airlines. Each year, approximately two-third of attendees serve at the vice president, director or manager level with more than half representing a “buy/approve” influence. More than 400 service providers will be in attendance.
The conference agenda will feature presentations by top airline and industry experts including:
- Airline Keynote, “Matching the speed of industry evolution to the pace of customer needs,” by Valter Fernandes, CEO, Portugália Airlines.
- The world’s three largest aircraft OEMs, will discuss how their new services strategies will change the MRO business, with Mike Fleming, VP Commercial Services for Boeing, Frank Stevens, VP Global MRO Centers for Embraer, and Philippe Mhun, SVP Customer Services for Airbus.
- Industry Keynote, “A view from outside the industry,” Frank Stephenson, Head of Product Design, Lilium GmbH.
- Panel discussion, “The future workforce in a digital age,” with Christophe Henriot, Engineering and Fleet Airworthiness Manager, HOP! Air France; Fraser Currie, CCO, Joramco; David Doherty, Head of Commercial, Monarch Aircraft Engineering; and Geoff Murray, Partner with Oliver Wyman.
The exhibition hall will include numerous opportunities to network and showcase products. New this year, the EASA Part 21 Design and Manufacture Pavilion will serve as a designated area where MROs, airlines and lessors requiring Part 21J/G services can meet companies that hold these approvals and certifications.
“MRO Europe offers attendees and exhibitors unparalleled access to buyers including airlines and lessors, as well as industry knowledge and information,” said Lydia Janow, Managing Director/Events & Tradeshows, Aviation Week Network. “We are looking forward to returning to Amsterdam and expect in excess of 8,000 registered attendees.”
