With supply chain challenges being cited as the number one industry concern, how can potential solutions be sought for these wide-ranging problems? Across the region there are mixed views to what is causing these issues but top amongst them is parts availability. This is of particular concern as it is affecting the operational availability of aircraft, delivery timelines and extends shop visit duration. Hear from industry leaders about whether this is changing attitudes to alternative parts, including options such as PMA or DER, which have previously been underutilised in the region. Is it also changing the dynamics on the repair vs replace conversation? What are OEMs doing to mitigate the effect of the supply chain challenges? Do OEMs need to alter their approach to parts supply?

Hear an update from the region's cargo market. What are the latest numbers on aircraft retirements for P2F conversions? How many freighters are being built? What does the future look like?

With the rise of passenger demand there has been a reduction in the number of aircraft being retired for either P2F conversion or parts. What are the most important factors for the operators and lessors when considering retiring their aircraft for P2F? The increased demand for P2F requires additional facilities, what are the key factors MROs have to consider when making the switch from commercial aviation to P2F? Can we expect any changes to the ease of importing aviation goods or tax free zones?
