The theme ​of ​this year's conference ​is "Transforming Aircraft Maintenance Operations ​in an ​AI-Enabled ​World"

From ​Planning ​to Execution, Reliability ​to Recovery: Reimagining ​Maintenance Operations with AI and Agents

AI is ​reshaping airline ​maintenance operations, ​but there ​is no single vision ​for ​what ​AI-enabled ​maintenance should look ​like. ​Applications span ​the ​spectrum from ​autonomous ​agents to tools ​that ​augment ​human ​decision-making ​in an ​environment where safety, regulatory ​compliance, ​operational ​complexity, economic performance, ​and human expertise demand strong ​safeguards.  Meanwhile, optimization, simulation, ​machine ​learning, and ​predictive ​analytics ​are ​converging with new ​agentic capabilities. ​This ​convergence is changing ​not only ​how ​maintenance decisions ​are made, ​but ​also ​how solutions are designed, ​built, tested, deployed, and ​monitored ​as part of ​a broader strategy ​to deliver ​sustainable ​business ​value.

This special ​session ​invites ​the AGIFORS community ​to ​explore that full ​spectrum and ​consider the evolving ​role ​of ​AI across maintenance operations, from long- ​and ​short-range ​planning and resource allocation ​to real-time execution, ​disruption recovery, aircraft reliability, ​safety, ​and ​cost-effective ​decision-making

We welcome submissions ​that address these ​topics ​and any other ​relevant topics:

• Predictive maintenance
  
• Maintenance planning and ​(production) ​scheduling
  
• Maintenance repair recommendation ​engines
  
• Aircraft reliability
  
• Fleet ​performance
  
• Operational ​efficiency
  
• Asset ​management
  
• Spare part demand ​forecasting
  
• Spare parts ​and inventory ​planning
  
• Manpower ​planning and training
  
• Collaborative decision-making
  
• Applications ​of artificial ​intelligence ​in maintenance operation

Come and share with us your ideas, thoughts, current trends, philosophies, and latest technological advances on any of the above topics.
