Background
China’s civil aviation fleet continues to expand and the aviation market maintains steady recovery. The mixed operation of wide-body cargo aircraft, domestic new aircraft and aging classic aircraft has become the industry norm, driving a sharp rise in comprehensive demands for aviation maintenance and material support and expanding the structural supply-demand gap. With increasing daily aircraft utilization and compressed line maintenance windows, unscheduled AOG failures occur frequently, raising stringent requirements for rapid material allocation, emergency support and precision maintenance. Consistent with the core agenda of this annual meeting, the industry faces prominent challenges: volatile global aviation supply chains lead to long delivery cycles and high costs of core components; extensive traditional material management results in coexisting overstock of general parts and shortage of key safety parts, while the compliance application, graded procurement and risk control system for PMA parts and dismantled used parts remain imperfect. In addition, the digital and intelligent transformation progresses unevenly across the industry. The implementation of AI borescope recognition, AR intelligent maintenance, predictive health monitoring and 3D printing domestic substitution varies greatly among enterprises. Mixed fleets lack scientific material demand planning and dynamic inventory management systems. During the fleet iteration period, aging aircraft face frequent failures due to extended service, while technical reserves for new domestic aircraft maintenance are insufficient. Coupled with differences in cross-border airworthiness standards and imperfect operation systems for low-cost and cargo airlines, the high-quality development of the civil aviation maintenance industry is greatly restricted. Nevertheless, digital intelligent maintenance, aviation material resource sharing, cross-border maintenance collaboration and domestic component substitution have become definitive industry trends, providing effective solutions to existing industry pain points. Hosted in Haikou, this conference leverages the unique institutional dividends of Hainan Free Trade Port in cross-border maintenance, bonded aviation materials and streamlined customs clearance, relying on its clustered aviation maintenance industry advantages radiating to the ASEAN market. Closely targeting industry practical demands, the conference arranges in-depth panel discussions and practical sharing on refined material management, AOG emergency support, differentiated maintenance for new and aging fleets, digital intelligent maintenance, cross-border MRO collaboration and additive manufacturing substitution. It gathers mainstream airlines, leading MROs and industry experts to summarize advanced practical experience, standardize the full-lifecycle management of aviation materials, optimize the collaborative maintenance system for multi-model fleets, and break through supply chain and technical bottlenecks. The conference aims to eliminate barriers in maintenance, material support, technology and compliance, improve the integrated regional aviation maintenance and support system, and promote the safe, compliant, efficient and sustainable high-quality development of the civil aviation maintenance industry.
