Later that day, experts from Cebu Pacific Air, GE Aerospace, HAECO and SIA Engineering Company (SIAEC) will discuss whether artificial intelligence (AI) is actually improving efficiency, cutting costs and enhancing maintenance planning in measurable ways. The experts will discuss the most beneficial AI use cases and will highlight real operational or financial benefits.
On day two of the conference, we will hear how the aviation community is tackling the talent shortage crisis. The aviation industry faces a severe worker shortage that threatens its ability to operate effectively and grow. Companies are mulling recruitment, retention, training and technology strategies. Hear what panelists from CASL, Magnetic Group, MTU Maintenance Zhuhai and SIAEC have to say on the subject.
Next, the conference agenda turns to India's aviation sector and rapidly expanding fleet. Panelists from Air Works Group, Buddha Air, GMR Aero Technic and SpiceJet will explore the potential hot spots for investment and which capabilities are a priority for investors.
The conference will culminate in a session on aircraft interiors, modifications and upgrades.
