§  Pablo Fuentes Moruno, VP Sales & Marketing, ITP In Service Support

§  Carlos Ruivo, VP Marketing & Sales, TAP Maintenance & Engineering

§  Maurizio Tucci, Chairman and CEO, Alitalia Maintenance Systems

The engine maintenance business is going through transformation with new products becoming available, changes in engine ownership, increasing OEM presence and fluctuating market forces. The OEM/MRO battle continues and engine MROs now appear to need to be bespoke, global and part of a network in order to survive. The influence of lessors in the maintenance market is also increasing and MROs need to now think about these relationships when making business plans. We gather some key industry players and experts to explore what innovative business strategies and models will need to be put in place by engine MROs in order to be successful in the future and look at how these developments will impact operators and the services and providers available.

Airworthiness authorities and regulators have a large influence on the MRO market, especially the certification process and licensing activities of spare parts and alternative repairs. PMA parts are still a big area of debate when discussing maintenance processes and budgetary concerns. How do industry and the regulators see the future of the engine maintenance market changing? What is industry's view of their regulator's role and power? We bring together all parties involved in the regulatory process to discuss where the industry is now with regards to alternative parts and what the future may hold.

Workshop A – Leased Engines and Engine MRO

§  Pat Madigan, Marketing Director, Shannon Engine Support

§  Phil Seymour, President & COO, IBA Group

The increase in leased fleets is creating challenges for all those involved in the MRO process. How is the return and transfer of leased engines impacted by maintenance decisions? What influence do lessors and appraisers have on engine MRO strategies? How do you address the problem of maintenance reserves? How are lessors impacting the PMA and DER market? This workshop is designed to bring together the different parties involved in the maintenance transaction to see how co-operation can be improved to align the differing interests of all those concerned.

Workshop B – Engine MRO 2020

§  Tim Hoyland, Partner, Oliver Wyman

Time to get your crystal balls out! This session is focused on exploring what the engine MRO landscape will look like in 2020 and beyond. How will new engine products shape the market? Who will have the balance of power in the aftermarket? Will there be consolidation or will new players continue to spring up? What will future services look like and what will be the optimum business model? An opportunity for some blue sky thinking and to share thoughts on where the industry is going.
