Agenda
Consistency in the Supply Chain
Wednesday, October 19
11:00 - 11:45 AM GMT
Moderator: David Stewart, Partner
This session will cover the aviation industry's most pressing questions about consistency in the supply chain. What are the key ways to manage supply chain instability, and what methods will help to create a consistent source of supply? What role do automation and new technology play? What are the impacts of inflation? How does sustainability play a role in the supply chain? This session will also cover partnerships, data monitoring, and keeping labor in supply chain roles.
ACTION ON! Sustainability
Thursday, October 20
10:00 - 10:45 AM GMT
Moderator: Robbie Bourke, Partner
This session will cover the aviation industry's most pressing questions about sustainability. Are we actually tracking as everyone is saying we are? What more near-term goals and objectives need to be put in place to hit Net Zero by 2050? How do we communicate throughout the organization that sustainability is a value add and will have long-term ROI? This session will also explore efficiency improvements, operational improvements, and understanding what is actionable and the most relevant for the MRO Space.
Fleet & MRO Forecast Update
This was to be a year of comeback for aviation, but thanks to a series of exogenous shocks, the anticipated recovery is not as robust as expected.
By January 2023, we now anticipate the fleet to be 1% smaller than the original forecast of around 27,600 aircraft. MRO spend in 2022 will be 6% less, at just under $74 billion. In 2023, MRO spend will be 2% higher.
Takeaways
As the aviation industry moves forward into a period of resilience from the pandemic, there's still much to resolve. This year's MRO Europe show helped address topics that continue to top the agenda.
Transportation & Services Partners David Stewart and Robbie Bourke, along with the CAVOK team Phil Stuckle, James Murray-Smith, and Chris Drew, discuss the supply chain consistency, sustainability action, urban air mobility, cost escalation crisis, and importance of collaboration.
