AI in Aviation Maintenance

Most MROs are experimenting with AI, but few have scaled it, and for many, it is still too early to assess the returns.

The Oliver Wyman Aviation team will host an exclusive session where they will draw on the latest MRO survey and research with UC Berkeley to explore practical ways to prioritize AI investments, identify the use cases with the greatest potential, and move from experimentation toward scale. We’ll also demonstrate AI tools designed around real MRO workflows.
