AGIFORS Aircraft Maintenance Operations Special Session

Due to the currently ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the AGIFORS Council has made the choice to do all study group meetings in an online format.

This year the Aircraft Maintenance Operations Special Session will again be held in conjunction with the Airline Operations Study Group starting on Tuesday, 13 July 2021 and ending on Friday, 16 July 2021. All sessions will start at 14:00 UTC and run until 19:00 UTC. These times will hopefully make it possible to attend the session within a reasonable time for many locations around the globe.
