Who attends

Why flight schools attend
Direct fit applies mainly to European flight schools running 20+ aircraft fleets with in-house maintenance organisations. The European MRO supply chain materially differs from the US — different OEM relationships, different parts-supply realities, different regulatory harmonisation pressures — and MRO Europe is the most efficient annual touchpoint for those specifics. Pilot-training-only schools without significant in-house maintenance typically find better fit at EATS, EASA Safety Conference, or AERO Friedrichshafen.

Same Aviation Week franchise, different geographies and supply-chain realities. MRO Europe is European-MRO focused — Lufthansa Technik, AFI KLM E&M, MAGNETIC, and the broader European independent MRO community — and EASA-anchored regulatory content. MRO Americas is larger overall and US-MRO focused. Many major MRO providers exhibit at both.
