Key Takeaways
“
A gathering of a good mix of stakeholders at the Aero-Engines Asia-Pacific conference and looking forward to attending more of this conference going forward. ”
Kelvin See Managing Director, Asia Pacific, Dedienne Aerospace
Market recovery remains strong, driven by growing demand for air travel. However, engine challenges continue to hamper recovery and airline health.
Airlines are extending leases on existing fleets and bringing aircraft out of retirements, increasing the demand for legacy leased engines and USM.
Increased collaboration is needed across the market to support airlines, drive innovation and assist industry wide sustainability efforts.
