What is MRO Europe?
MRO Europe is Aviation Week Network’s annual European event for the commercial aviation aftermarket. It combines a senior-level conference with an international exhibition, bringing together airlines, lessors, maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) providers, OEMs, parts distributors and suppliers from every level of the supply chain.
The 2026 edition returns to RAI Amsterdam. The organiser expects more than 11,500 attendees and over 630 exhibiting companies, alongside 30+ expert conference speakers, free show-floor sessions at the Go Live! Theater, and organised MRO Europe Meet-Ups. An independent preview of the exhibitor list counts more than 650 companies from 43 countries, with engines the second-largest product category on the floor, behind components.
For anyone working in engine parts and engine maintenance, that concentration matters: for three days, many of the operators, shops and suppliers you would otherwise reach across a dozen time zones are within a short walk of each other.
Why the engine aftermarket is the conversation to have in 2026
Engines are the most valuable and maintenance-intensive part of any commercial aircraft, and engine shop visits are where the aftermarket’s bottlenecks show first: material availability, repair capacity and turnaround time.
Several forces keep that pressure on. Airlines are flying mature fleets for longer while new aircraft deliveries run behind schedule and some new-generation engine programmes work through durability-related inspections and removals. As a result, workhorse engines such as the CFM56 and IAE V2500 remain in high demand for shop visits, serviceable material and repairs, years after many expected their aftermarket to start winding down.
For operators and MROs, that means planning material earlier, using the right mix of new, overhauled and used serviceable material (USM), and working with suppliers who understand the technical and documentation requirements behind every part. It also means that the relationships you build with responsive, reliable suppliers have a direct effect on how quickly an engine gets back on wing.
That is exactly the kind of conversation we want to have in Amsterdam.
Who we’d like to meet
We’re keeping our diary for MRO Europe focused on conversations where we can be genuinely useful:
Airlines & operators
Planning shop visits or looking for alternatives to long lead times on CFM56, V2500, CF6, CF34 or PW4000 material.
MROs & engine shops
Needing dependable material supply to protect turnaround times on inducted and in-progress shop visits.
Lessors & asset managers
With engines approaching transition or end of life, where teardown and component recovery can unlock remaining value.
Repair stations & trading partners
Interested in repair coordination and long-term, straightforward collaboration across the supply chain.

Practical tips for getting the most out of MRO Europe 2026
- Book meetings before you travel. Diaries fill up quickly in the final days before the show, and a confirmed slot beats a chance encounter in a busy hall.
- Know the rhythm of the week. The conference opens on 27 October and the exhibition runs on 28–29 October. If meetings are your main goal, the exhibition days are when most buyers and suppliers are on the floor.
- Bring a focused list. Part numbers, the engines in your fleet or shop, and any open RFQs turn a pleasant chat into a real next step.
- Plan your travel. RAI Amsterdam has its own railway station, a short direct train ride from Schiphol Airport.
- Follow up within 48 hours. Conversations fade fast after a big show. A short email with the agreed next steps keeps momentum.
