Introducing The
Ones To Watch

President's Message

Dear Readers,

The months of May, June, and July have once again demonstrated the remarkable pace of transformation within the global aviation industry. The record-breaking aircraft orders announced at the Paris Air Show underline not only the recovery and resilience of air travel but also the growing strategic importance of the Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) sector. Boeing’s largest order in history, alongside Airbus’s impressive sales, signals an era of accelerated fleet expansion—one that will inevitably require stronger maintenance infrastructures and a highly skilled workforce to sustain operational safety and efficiency.

At the center of this evolution lies digital transformation. Artificial intelligence–driven predictive maintenance, digital twin applications, and software-based avionics solutions are redefining both operational practices and business models. For MRO executives, these advancements demand more than technological investment; they require a fundamental rethinking of process management and resource allocation. Maintenance hangars are no longer merely operational facilities—they are becoming technology and data hubs that must integrate seamlessly with global supply chains and digital ecosystems.

Yet, beyond technology, the most decisive factor for the industry’s future remains human capital. According to Boeing and CAE, hundreds of thousands of new technicians will be required in the next two decades.
