More than 2,500 aviation industry professionals and executives will convene on September 22-24, 2009, during Aviation Week's 2009 Maintenance Repair and Overhaul (MRO) Europe Conference and Exhibition in Hamburg, Germany at the Hamburg Messe und Congress to discuss ways to rise out of the current economic crisis.

The event includes an educational conference and an international exhibition hall with more than 200 MRO product and services suppliers.

"The first concrete signs are emerging that European passenger traffic has bottomed out and will gradually start increasing. But that does not mean airlines can breathe easier yet, with yields still falling and cost pressures weighing on many carriers" (Aviation Week, Aug. 17, 2009, p. 34). How long will MRO market growth be delayed, and what strategic changes are required to prepare for the coming months and years? The MRO industry's "Runway to Recovery" will be mapped out at MRO Europe as attendees review changes in contracts, aircraft aging and ordering, inventory management, economic pressures, fuel consumption, process improvement, and more.

In addition, Overhaul & Maintenance magazine will present the prestigious MRO Europe Awards, which recognize the best companies and individuals in the aviation MRO industry for their outstanding service and contributions.
