Background

  Currently, the global aviation industry is undergoing a critical period of profound transformation and restructuring. In the post-pandemic era, supply chain resilience has become a core industry topic, with accelerated digital and green transformations. The global aviation material management market is expected to exceed $282 billion by 2025, with the Asia-Pacific market contributing over 40% of the incremental growth, providing vast opportunities for international aviation material supply chain cooperation. The Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) has explicitly stated in its "14th Five-Year Plan" for aviation logistics the goal of increasing the localization rate of domestic aviation materials to 65% by 2025. Meanwhile, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the International Air Transport Association (IATA) have set a net-zero emissions target by 2050, compelling the global aviation industry to accelerate exploration of innovative pathways such as sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and green technologies. Against this backdrop, the 2026 Aviation MRO & Supply Chain Summit has emerged, aiming to gather global forces from government, industry, academia, research, and application to jointly address supply chain restructuring, technological innovation, and carbon neutrality challenges, and promote the construction of an efficient, resilient, and green global aviation material supply chain ecosystem.

Summary

  This forum aims to construct a global aviation maintenance and aviation material supply chain ecosystem through multi-dimensional value creation. At the policy synergy level, it integrates rules from regulatory bodies such as CAAC, FAA, and EASA, promotes international aviation material tariff optimization and supply chain mutual recognition, provides policy support for the construction of an autonomous and controllable industrial chain, and guides the standardized application of green technologies like SAF. In terms of technological empowerment, it focuses on the innovative needs of next-generation aircraft design for maintenance technology, showcases practical cases of digital twin and AI predictive maintenance, reduces aviation material inventory costs by over 30%, accelerates the perfection of green aviation material certification systems, and promotes the adaptation of engine emission reduction technologies to supply chains. Regarding ecosystem co-construction, through several enterprise cases, it presents innovations in cross-border maintenance customs clearance modes under free trade zone policies and the global layout of aviation material sharing pools, constructs a maintenance service network covering 15 countries, and facilitates efficient allocation of resources across the industrial chain. In the sustainability dimension, it implements the ICAO/IATA 2050 net-zero goals, pilots the application of biodegradable aviation materials and blockchain traceability technologies, achieves full lifecycle carbon footprint tracking for aviation materials, and provides replicable solutions for the industry's green transformation.

  Through policy, technology, ecosystem, and sustainability four-dimensional linkages, the forum reshapes the global aviation aftermarket value creation model and drives the industry towards efficient, resilient, and low-carbon leapfrog development.
