Will you be at MRO Middle East 2025, Feb. 10-11, at the Dubai World Trade Center, UAE? 

It's the largest MRO and Interiors event in the region, and the gathering provides the best opportunity to meet the entire industry under one roof. The event is focused on commercial aviation maintenance, repair, and overhaul.

He'll also tackle consolidation and changes to the MRO landscape in the near and long term.
