Q. You will be speaking/moderating/
chairing at this year’s conference,
can you provide some details
about what your main focus will
be?
A. The main focus will be to discuss
the latest development and
market trends in the industry. In
addition, discuss areas of advance
technologies, merger & acquisitions
and strategic collaboration
agreements.
Q. What would you say are the main
challenges in the aftermarket at
the moment?
A. New technologies and enhanced
processes to reduce cost of
ownership of legacy engines
and OEM monopoly of the new
generation of engine MRO.
Q. The positive is occasionally lost
when we discuss the aftermarket,
what would you consider the
positives/the drivers in the
industry?
A. We have newer technology engine
families which have enabled us
to travel any point to any point
on the globe today. As the result,
we are burning less gas and have
fewer landings and takeoffs taking
place everyday keeping our planet
clean for the next generation. With
advanced technologies, we have
longer time on wing, less number
of maintenance events, less scrap
material but more number of
engines flying more passengers
around the globe. Our industry
is transforming commerce and
touching everyone’s life around the
world.

A. As an independent engine expert
with the largest aero engine
professional network in the
history of the industry through
the association that I founded in
2008, I monitor the industry from
every aspect without any conflict
of interest. I can certainly share the
latest and explore all critical and
interesting areas with the audience
as an independent oberserver
