We are delighted to welcome you back to the Airline & Aerospace MRO & Flight Operations IT Conference – APAC 2024. As well as addressing the industry’s current challenges, this year’s event will have a clear focus on technologies to shape the future of aviation.
While the global pandemic is moving into the past, we face new and evolving conflicts and global instability that will impact the operation of aircraft. The drive to net zero is a continual priority, as is the perennial need to manage costs. Ever-evolving regulation plus the rise of new technologies such as AI add to a matrix of challenges that would be daunting without the availability of digital solutions. Digitalization of processes is no longer a nice-to-have option but is essential. IT is now the key for sustainability and future growth, a central component in modern airline processes. The benefits of digitization are clear; agility, flexibility and the speed to address whatever the future holds: the challenge will be unlocking those benefits.
No airline today would consider running its business without IT; but finding the right IT solution for your business model and processes will remain a challenge. At this conference, all the best solution providers in the sector will be available under one roof for you to see what they have to offer and hear what they have to say.
Over 2 days in the sold-out Exhibition Hall, airlines, operators and MROs will enjoy unrivalled opportunities to watch demos of the latest digital solutions plus discuss with the leading vendors their own challenges and priorities. There will also be the usual chance to listen to a full conference agenda of case studies from airlines, operators and MROs, sharing their own digital journeys implementing new and modern IT solutions, including what they have gained and what they have learned.
We look forward to seeing you in Bangkok in October.

We make operational efficiency fly – save up to 4% fuel with PACE EFB applications
Our operational efficiency management solutions are based on the unique ability to determine the most cost-efficient, or ECON, trajectory for a specific set of flight conditions, which then serves as a point of reference for economic decisions on board as well as statistical analysis on the ground.
The leading application for EFB-based vertical flight profile optimization, Pacelab Flight Profile Optimizer complements the functional scope of current on-board technology and offers significantly higher fuel-saving potential than the flight management system alone. Calculations with Pacelab Flight Profile Optimizer are based on the best available performance data (first-principles data) and live WX and aircraft data. The software continuously determines the most cost-efficient flight trajectory for the remaining route to destination and supplies an adjusted cost index which can be fed to the FMS. Constraints provided with the briefing package are respected automatically. With the ECON trajectory as a reference, Pacelab Flight Profile Optimizer is able to pinpoint the available cost savings potential for every instant of the flight, giving concise information about fuel burn, overall cost and delay; the latter provides additional support for managing on-time performance.
Get the most out of your fleet – with Pacelab Mission Suite: Route and aircraft mission analysis software
An additional component of the PACE operations productivity catalog is Pacelab Mission Suite. Pacelab Mission Suite (PLMS) is an integrated software solution which supports stra-tegic and tactical statistical analysis of an aircraft’s enroute performance and economics.
PLMS allows the customer to tailor the analysis of payload-range and mission efficiency to the airlines specific business practices and economic models. In addition to route-by-route analysis; PLMS has the power to conduct “what if” analysis of an entire route structure with a single “click”. This is all done within a robust and proven software environment.
Our EFB and aircraft performance solutions will be presented live at our booth. For more detailed information, please get in touch with Oliver Späth (oliver.spaeth@txtgroup.com) or visit our website at www.pace.de.
