As MRO demand surges across Asia-Pacific, lessors, operators, and MROs are grappling with capacity constraints, rising costs, and increasing technical complexity. This session brings together leaders from across the value chain—including airlines, lessors, and MROs—to explore how the industry is adapting. From redelivery bottlenecks and parts shortages to workforce challenges and digital integration, this panel will unpack the operational realities and strategic responses shaping the MRO landscape in the region.

• Capacity Crunch: Managing the MRO Bottleneck. How MROs are scaling to meet post-COVID demand? How better can stakeholders coordinate and collaborate to reduce downtime?

• Supply Chain & Parts Availability. What is the current shortage of parts and how is that impacting operators and lessors? What innovative procurement strategies are being adopted? How does the industry view PMA parts and DER repairs? 

• Workforce & Talent Pipeline. How are stakeholders addressing the labour shortage across MRO and airline tech ops? Are there any disparities between workforce readiness and regulatory alignment?

• Digital Tools & Predictive Maintenance. How airlines and MROs are leveraging predictive analytics and digital twins? How are challenges in data sharing and integration being addressed? What are stakeholder expectations around digital records and maintenance transperency?
