Future MRO & Ageing Aircraft 2011 (2011)

SMi is delighted to announce the launch of Future MRO & Ageing Aircraft 2011:  Extending the life cycle of civil aircraft for the 21st century.    In a world where credit has become scarce, fleet life extension is an attractive prospect for airlines, both large and small – regional and global as the costs of purchasing or leasing new aircraft can significantly outstrip the costs of extending an airframe / engine's life span. This conference will explore the debate and technical considerations around mid to end-life civil aviation fleet extension as well as a number of themes including the technical and cost implications of extending an aircrafts life vs. renewing a fleet with modern aircraft. The conference will also examine future MRO strategies and analyse succesfull airline case studies.   Hear presentations from: Lufthansa TechnikAG, Airbus, IBERIA, Blue Air, Pakistan International Airlines Engineering, EADS EFW, International Bureau of Aviation, IATA,ARC Global, MRO Magazine, Component Obsolescence Group, CMCA UK, and Bank of America Merrill Lynch.    The unique conference will bring together ageing fleet operators, MRO organisations, aviation consultants and financiers into one place to network and learn both the practical steps necessary to extend the life of an aircraft and ensure a sound return on investment on such projects. The conference will take place on the 26th & 27th October 2011 in London.
