This commitment will align with the Paris Agreement goal for global warming not to exceed 1.5°C. This will be an aggressive target for the industry to meet and will cost an estimated $2 trillion. Government support and international collaboration is vital, as well as a common shared goal. What will the milestones be?

Brian Prentice, Partner, Global Lead for Operations, Manufacturing, and MRO, Oliver Wyman 10:20am Morning Recess 10:40am How Geopolitical Chaos is Shaping MRO
Rising political tensions, a new land war in Europe, and natural disasters are wreaking havoc on the global aviation supply chain like never before. This panel explores how the aftermarket are uniquely vulnerable to supply chain disruptions caused by global geopolitical factors. As Russia – one of the world’s largest providers of metals and oil – is increasingly economically isolated, the cost for raw materials, energy supply, and skilledlabor will continue to rise. What tiers of the supply chain are most likely to feel these effects? How are businesses navigating their dependence on Russian goods and severed customer-supplier relations? What steps must be taken when your suppliers are surrounded by chaos and aircraft are not able to be supported? Session Leader: Lee Ann Shay, Executive Editor, MRO & Business Aviation, Aviation Week Network Kevin Michaels, Managing Director, AeroDynamic Advisory Alex Vlielander, Chief Services Officer, Liebherr-Aerospace & Transportation SAS
Hosted Session: IFS COMPLIMENTARY SESSION Open to All MRO Americas Attendees!
3:15pm
We’re Hiring! Strategies for Building the Workforce Pipeline
Nowhere is the global talent shortage for aircraft mechanics more apparent than in North America. Already looming pre-pandemic, and exacerbated by the industry downturn in 2020, the lack of aviation maintenance technicians is impacting operations across the board as demand for air travel rebounds at record pace. With low unemployment rates, shifting demographics, a low output of students with technical skills training, and competition from other industries, the MRO industry must act quickly and strategically to rebuild the workforce. This session will highlight strategies and best practices for MRO workforce recruitment including partnership and internship programs, DEI initiatives, leveraging emerging technologies, and building a culture and benefits that attract qualified young people. If you’re hiring, you don’t want to miss this! Ryan Goertzen, VP, Aviation Maintenance Workforce Development, AAR Allison McKay, CEO, Women in Aviation International Cam Murphy, President, FEAM Maintenance/Engineering Don Wright, VP – Maintenance and Engineering, Alaska Airlines 4:00pm

Global Cargo Conversion Boom: No Signs of Slowing Down
As air cargo activity accelerates, driven by huge e-commerce growth, a new generation of passenger aircraft are seeing a second life as cargo carriers. Booming P2F conversions are driving out older, less sustainable and operationally efficient aircraft and bringing an entire generation of fuel-efficient aircraft into the market. With narrowbodies dominating the P2F market, what conversion programs are likely to be most attractive? Who are the frontrunners in the widebody and standard body segments? And what are the current expectations for orders and commitments for the P2F programs of market-leading OEMs Boeing and Airbus? Panelists also share insights on the current feedstock pool as well as the modification work most likely to be subcontracted to MRO vendors – from adding cargo doors, new cabin panels, smoke detection systems, roller-equipped floors, and spider nets for cargo bay separation and restraints, to the removal of all passenger related systems on the aircraft - P2F conversions are looking like big business for the aftermarket in 2022 and beyond. Session Leader: Mike Stengel, Senior Associate, AeroDynamic Advisory Robert Convey, SVP - Sales & Marketing, Aeronautical Engineers, Inc. 9:30am
