The Middle East is still one of the fastest growing regions of the world in terms of aviation, with some of the highest numbers of aircraft on order.  This in turn is fostering a burgeoning MRO industry as the UAE invests billions to place the region at the forefront in terms of securing all regional work but also to attract work into the Middle East from other regions.  All of this results in many challenges - insufficient manpower to meet the market demand, an industry moving too fast to keep up with changing regulations, and demand that requires efficient state of the art solutions that cannot be put in place fast enough.

The MRO Middle East Conference is strategically designed to offer the newest and most innovative concepts and best practices, while encouraging the advancement of the airline and aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul industries in the region.  Speakers will address current and future forecast for this market, cost and staffing issues, supply chain trends, and a wide variety of other concerns.  The most dynamic solutions to your challenges will be provided.   

MRO Middle East highlights up-to-the-minute information and brings together leading industry experts who will share their insights on growth opportunities, cost reduction and management strategies that are cutting expenses and maximizing efficiency.  It also offers a unique opportunity for in-depth discussion in an intimate atmosphere.  Airline operators, MRO providers, OEMs, and suppliers explore, discuss, and share best practices and processes being implemented to increase fleet, increase ROI, and reduce costs.
