Audience by Region

The MRO market expects significant growth in the coming years. With its size estimated at $ 84 billion in 2022, by 2030 the market is projected to exceed $ 133 billion. One of the most important drivers of growth is work outsourcing, which allows not only to reduce airlines' investments in the development of their own MRO, but also to move a significant part of the work to those regions where, while maintaining the proper level of quality, labor costs remain lower.
This opens up great opportunities for the development of MRO services in the regions of Western and Central Asia, as well as Southern Europe, Africa and the Middle East, although it requires additional investment in equipment and qualified personnel.

  • Tashkent as a place for MRO Central Asia is perfect since having a great location. Good representation of the operators.
    Yuliya Aleksandrova, Sales Director — Eastern Europe (MVEA), MTU
  • Overall we see a big change in the central Asian market, it is more MRO volume, it is more MRO demand coming it is first of all coming by the natural growth of the airlines in the region, we also see a growth of MRO business coming to Central Asia due to the new geopolitical situation, so we see much more activity, there is more capacity needed in MRO, more capabilities and we see that this is now developing — this is a change we see. Overall the challenges are the same as I think everybody else face…
