PTF Cargo Conversions: Increased Demand & Opportunities
With the world remaining gripped in the throes of the current pandemic, it can be difficult to anticipate the future recovery of the engines’ market. How is the continuation of the crisis affecting the Americas’ engine communities and what can we expect to see from stakeholders in the short, medium and long-term? What impact could the decrease in workforce have on capacity? Have we learned anything from the beginnings of the pandemic that can be applied to its current stage? When can we expect to see passenger numbers start to increase, and will the vaccine be enough to restore passenger confidence? Are we finally starting to see the industry moving towards recovery?
Growing demand in cargo has been good for the passenger-to-freighter (PTF) conversion market. Driven by rising international trade, industrial production recovery and the surge of e-commerce, the expansion of the PTF conversion segment is expected to grow significantly. What does this trend mean for the dynamics in the engines market? What is the expected impact on engine availability? What are the implications and opportunities for MRO providers, who have been well-served by the cargo segment in the tumultuous past 14 months? Moderator: Allan Bachan, Vice President, ICF Aileen Barton, Director of Services Marketing, GE Aviation Les Cronin, Senior Director Sales The Americas, MTU Maintenance Jonathan Swetnam, General Manager, Cargo Aircraft Management, Inc. TAY Eng Guan, Vice President/General Manager, ST Engineering Aerospace Engines

Panel Discussion: Flexibility Needs in Long-Term MRO Contracts The recent crisis has created an undeniable need for flexibility in MRO contracts for OEMs, Third-Party MROs and Operators. Lengthy MRO commitments are being met with hesitation to prevent ties to future obligations that may not be able to be met, and the need to conserve cash remains king, so what can we expect to see from long-term MRO contracting? How is the engine community redirecting their approach to alternative

Event Agenda Day One | Wednesday, June 30 1:30pm
Panel Discussion: Understanding USM Strategies A lack of USM in previous years kept the market in the hands of the sellers, but with the increase in retired engine availability and a potential surplus of parts on the market, how has this changed buying strategies for key players? Are airlines and lessors selling assets to ensure continued liquidity and are parts-brokers concerned about sitting on inventory? When can we expect to see a ramp up in demand for capacity and could now be the perfect time to invest in spare parts?
repair for the aftermarket sector, or are we more likely to see an augmentation of human capabilities? Arjan de Jong, Program Manager, Maintenance Engineering, Management & Technology, NLR - Royal Netherlands Aerospace Centre 4:00pm
Previous leasing models of lengthy contracts with high retainers are becoming increasingly unpopular due to the long-term commitment, so what changes are we seeing in the engine leasing community to meet shifting needs? Due to high engine costs, short-term leasing could offer a more attractive commitment to airlines. Through this need for flexibility, how have lessors changed their view on their current assets as a result of the crisis?

Panel Discussion: Engines Market – Continued Crisis or Future Opportunity? The financial impact of the crisis continues to be felt at every level of the aftermarket industry. Join financial experts as they offer an update to the current standings of the market. Learn about recent and future changes in mergers & acquisitions, bankruptcies and consolidations. What spread are we seeing in what buyers are willing to pay against what sellers are willing to accept? What type of investments are proving popular? Are there sale-and-leaseback options for airlines to preserve cash on their engines? How are airlines approaching green-time engine management and will that affect the market? Are changes in the North American market differing from the rest of the globe as we take the necessary steps towards recovery?

Inspiring the Next Generation of Talent A lack of available talent has been an ongoing problem for aviation, and now with the increase in layoffs, we are seeing grandfathered knowledge leaving the industry at a rapid rate.

Presentation: Building the Powertrain: Integrating Motors, Turbogenerators and Fly-By-Wire for Maximum Efficiency
It is clear we will not see a V shaped recovery within aftermarket operations, and many engine shops have had to greatly reduce workforces because of the reduction of shop visits from operators. As time on green-time engines begins to burn off, and overhauls start to become a necessary reality, we will see engine shops drastically needing to meet the curve as passengers return to the skies.
New, modern powertrain systems ensure aircrafts of the future provide cleaner, safer, more efficient, quieter and freer-moving transportation. In recent months, Honeywell has unveiled a new 1-megawatt turbogenerator and deepened its partnership with motor maker DENSO as it builds a uniquely integrated electric powertrain systems and electric propulsion units to meet new aerospace needs.

Panel Discussion: Engine Supply Chain – The Risks and Opportunities from Lower Production Volumes
12:15pm
The lower production rates in 2020 and 2021 for the aero engines have continued to challenge the entire supply. Join manufacturing and supply chain experts as they discuss challenges of all tier levels experiencing liquidity challenges, inventory volatility and talent retention.
The engine supply chain became completely disrupted during the pandemic. As the industry returns, gone are the days of traditional spreadsheets and business plans. What is this digital “new” normal? How has it changed the way we do business?
