The aviation sector in Central Asia is transforming at an unprecedented pace. With rapid fleet modernization, a surge in Western-built aircraft, and ambitious expansion plans across the region, demand for advanced engine technologies, maintenance expertise, and investment partnerships is stronger than ever.
AeroEngines Central Asia 2026 brings the global aviation community together in two dynamic locations — Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan — to explore the full spectrum of challenges and opportunities in engine operations, ownership, and support for commercial aviation.
Building on the heritage of the highly successful MRO Central Asia: Engines 2025 and inspired by the acclaimed Aviation Now AeroEngine series, this year’s events expand the conversation far beyond maintenance — creating a platform for exchange, innovation, and strategic cooperation.

About the Conferences
AeroEngines Central Asia are the premier regional events dedicated to the entire lifecycle of aero engines, APUs, and powerplant systems. The dual conferences will connect OEMs, MRO providers, leasing companies, airlines, and government regulators to address the evolving needs of a fast-growing aviation ecosystem.
The conferences will focus on how operators, regulators, and investors can jointly accelerate the development of sustainable, efficient, and competitive engine operations and infrastructure across Central Asia’s markets.

Key discussions will center on
- Adapting Western expertise and global best practices to local market realities.
- Strengthening cross-border cooperation and knowledge transfer between Central Asian stakeholders and global leaders.
- Supporting the integration of new-generation engines, hybrid systems, and alternative fuel technologies.
- Expanding MRO capabilities and engine repair infrastructure in a region without dedicated repair facilities.
Key Discussion Themes
Technical and Engineering Challenges
Explore the latest issues facing airlines, lessors, and MRO specialists — from engine performance optimization to predictive maintenance, digital twins, and material innovations. Practical workshops will help participants tackle real-world engineering and operational challenges.
Costs of Ownership
Understand the true lifecycle cost of engine ownership — from overhaul and spare parts to time-on-wing optimization — and discover innovative cost-reduction strategies, power-by-the-hour solutions, and collaborative maintenance models.
Supply Chain Dynamics
Geopolitical disruptions and pandemic-era lessons continue to reshape global engine supply chains. Industry leaders will discuss navigating constraints, building resilience, and developing regional suppliers to secure operational continuity.
Leasing Strategies and Regulations
Engine leasing remains a flexible but complex option for airlines. Sessions will examine regulatory frameworks, risk management, and emerging trends driving the engine leasing market — both regionally and globally.
