As we gear up for the annual Aircraft Predictive Maintenance (PAM) conference to be held in Dublin on November 13-14 this year, the excitement is starting to get into full swing.
With over 40 airlines currently registered to participate, the aviation industry is once again united and ready to deeply explore the future of maintenance, embracing cutting-edge technology and innovative solutions that promise real change. It’s clear that it’s done.
PAM is more than just a conference, it’s a platform to discuss what’s next for predictive maintenance and how it will shape the future of MRO practices. Be sure to check out page 41 of this issue for more information on how to get involved.
The growing buzz around predictive maintenance speaks volumes about its potential to transform the way aircraft health is managed. In this issue, we hear from some of the industry’s leading voices, including insights from three conference sponsors who will be speaking in Dublin. Gamit’s Chris Leese-Wood highlights that integrating AI, ML and IoT can dramatically reduce aircraft downtime while improving safety and sustainability. GE Aerospace’s David Harper details how advances in computing and AI/ML are driving more personalized and proactive maintenance strategies. Meanwhile, Boris Wolstenholme from Sentry Aerospares explains how data-driven solutions can streamline MRO operations, reduce disruption and optimize supply chains.
These experts remind us that while the opportunities are vast and exciting, challenges remain, from improving data quality to fostering collaboration across industries. But one thing is clear: predictive technology will play a transformative role in making aviation safer, more efficient, and sustainable.
We hope you enjoy this issue of MRO Management, our largest ever. We look forward to seeing you in Dublin in November.
