Wednesday, November 13, 2024:9:50 AM - 10:30 AM

Description

This panel will explore how key stakeholders can assist Australasia in achieving its MRO potential. With a focus on what specific capabilities the region currently lacks and how can these gaps be addressed? What effective incentives are in place for international and regional investors? What are the primary bottlenecks to investment in the regional aviation sector and how can they be mitigated? What opportunities are there from the announcement of Maintenance, repair, overhaul and upgrade of Australian Defence Force aircraft as a Sovereign Industry Requirement? How does Defence plan to “grow and guide“ Australia’s MRO&U capability? How can the Australian Government and the region’s airlines collaborate to attract outside investment for setting up facilities in the region? Can tax and fee structures be reviewed to alleviate the financial burden on aviation operators? How are high labor costs and inflation affecting investment decisions in the aviation sector and how can this be addressed? What impact are MRO capacity shortages in the Asia Pacific region having on Australia?
