We are delighted to welcome you back to the Airline & Aerospace MRO & Flight Operations IT Conference – Americas 2023.
In the past year, we have seen that digital and paperless processes, once considered ‘nice to have’, are now ‘must have’ business priorities. IT is unarguably the beating heart of a modern airline and the key to understanding how the business works. The safety and efficiency benefits to be gained from digital and paperless processes as well as the collection and application of data with integrated and enhanced IT platforms are clear for airlines, operators and MROs: the challenge is in unlocking those benefits.
Fuel prices remain high and the sector faces personnel shortages in key groups such as engineers and pilots. It is not only recruitment but also training and compliance with ever-evolving regulatory regimes that add up to a complex matrix of demands and requirements to be satisfied when flying in the commercial market. That makes it more important than ever for airlines, operators and MROs to use the most modern IT solutions to be efficient, agile, flexible and fast as possible, and prepared for whatever the future holds.
With a record number of leading software and hardware vendors in the sold-out Exhibition Hall, attendees will enjoy unprecedented opportunities to meet vendors, discuss their own challenges and priorities, and see demos of the latest and leading digital solutions. Airlines and MROs who have already embraced digitization, implementing new and modern IT solutions, will share their experiences in the conference agenda, plus there will be the established line-up of industry experts, vendor showcases, workshops, and more to help you unravel and understand a changing world and the opportunities for airlines, operators and MROs that embrace an IT driven future.

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.

The Digital FinTwin® platform processes Engine Assets and MRO shop floor historic & dynamic airworthiness, maintenance and operational data to accurately forecast maintenance costs and value economics, cashflows, revenue potential.
The KeepFlying® Data Wrangling layer enhances data integrity against Engines and Shop Visits by consolidating and validating maintenance data through Engine Model / Type specific data pipelines from sources across scanned PDFs, MS Excel, MIS / M&E / MRO systems.
Data Wrangling Process
Using the Digital FinTwin® platform, Engine MROs can gain 10-12% on their bottom line through advanced simulations and forecasts of Engine Shop Visit Lifecycles. Engine Asset Owners / Lessors can take smarter, informed trade decisions on their assets as a factor of projected utilization, technical and operational environments through commercial simulations.
Visualizing Commercial Impact of Shop floor decisions
Engine MROs can accurately predict the lifecycle of an Engine Shop Visit before its arrival across prospecting and contracted stages to visualize the commercial implications of Capacity Management, TAT Risks, costs, profitability and mitigation solutions (e.g. outsourcing select modules for external repair, swaps, exchanges) across fleet. Budgets and slot sales projections can be run as simulations in addition to work scope predictions (module work scope levels, findings) as a factor of the Engine profile generated using proprietary algorithms.
Key features as part of the MRO edition include:
Residual Life Management & Scenario Forecasting
Engine Asset Owners and Lessors can use the KeepFlying® Engine FinTwin® Asset Owner / Lessor Edition to manage half and full life maintenance values, LLP costs and residual values, Maintenance Reserves, Direct Maintenance Costs, Redelivery risks and costs as a factor of technical and operational parameters (e.g. Engine Type, Thrust Rating, Avg. Thrust Derate, Operational Environment, EGTM Deterioration, Oil & Fuel Consumption etc.,).
Key features as part of the Asset Owner / Lessor edition include:
KeepFlying® can interface with most standard M&E/ MRO/ ERP systems to wrangle Data sources within and beyond the systems to enhance integrity prior to running them through the proprietary Data Models of the Digital FinTwin®.
