Dear Colleagues and Valued Aviation Professionals,
It is a distinct pleasure to greet you all in the spirit of our shared passion for aviation as we present the latest issue of UTED International.
This is a period of special significance for the Turkish aviation industry. We are currently marking the 102nd year of our nation’s modern aviation vision. This journey, spanning more than a century, is a living testament to how a local ambition can evolve into a global success story. Today, with its strategic location, growing fleets, and world-class Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) centers, Türkiye is not merely a crossroads of the world; it is an integral and robust part of the global aviation ecosystem. This progress itself is a success story of international collaboration and shared standards a journey we are all part of.
As we take the pulse of our industry, we can see just how dynamic the MRO sector has been over the past three months of August, September, and October.
During this period, the sustained surge in global travel demand has necessitated that fleets operate at maximum efficiency. While this has undoubtedly increased the workload on our shoulders as MRO professionals, it has also acted as a powerful catalyst for technological adaptation. We have witnessed the significant rise of AI driven Predictive Maintenance. The ability to foresee potential issues before they arise is no longer a future goal; it is becoming a new standard for operational continuity and, paramount to all, flight safety.
