After a successful first day at PAM Singapore 2025, the delegates returned for day two for more networking and insight from industry experts.

Here’s a round-up of the sessions that took place on day two:

The day started with a keynote presentation from Nicolas Detalle from the Aviation Services Research Centre (ASRC) who gave an overview of the many ways the centre is advancing with research and technology to improve the future of predictive maintenance. Nicolas gave insight into visual hyperspectral drone inspections and coating degradation monitoring.

NAVEO Consultancy’s Richard Brown moderated a panel discussion that discussed how demand for quality used serviceable material (USM) is climbing as aircraft stay in service longer and teardown capacity tightens. The panellists, Tony Ramage from EirTrade Aviation, Job Arnold from STRADE, and Mahmoud El Sawah from AirNXT looked at the view from the market – from asset origination to teardown execution – and explored how industry players are refining their strategies to match supply with demand. With lead times high and aircraft turnaround pressures intensifying, the discussion covered how early planning, market data, and collaboration can help anticipate parts requirements and support operational efficiency.

Willi Prahl from Lufthansa Technik and Tsubasa Yamada from Peach Aviation gave an in-depth exploration of the enduring partnership between AVIATAR and the Japanese airline, highlighting the successful implementation of Predictive Health Analytics. The presentation explored the key success factors that enable effective implementation and sustained value creation. Peach Aviation showcased real-world case studies that lead to tangible operational gains – including reduced operational interruptions and improved maintenance efficiency.

Manuel Saucez from Airbus and Lahiru Kannangara from Jetstar together explored the core philosophy behind Airbus’s predictive maintenance approach, focusing on S. Fleet Performance +, a solution designed together with the Digital Alliance partners (Delta Tech Ops, GE Aerospace, Liebherr and Collins) to anticipate and mitigate operational disruptions. The speakers demonstrated how predictive maintenance is a powerful tool for avoiding costly Aircraft-On-Ground (AOG) events. These predictive capabilities are built on a foundation of deep technical aircraft knowledge and comprehensive access to extended data, allowing for the development of highly effective and reliable solutions.

Gururaj Saralaya and Gavin Chew from Collins Aerospace showcased the Collins Aerospace model for airline collaboration in predictive aircraft maintenance. The audience learned how to blend automation with human-in-the-loop validation to deliver enhanced operational reliability and customer trust.

Bobby Burkett from Teledyne Aerospace Electronics shared how it is possible to access and transform legacy aircraft data into actionable insights. Bobby covered the evolution of data acquisition systems, highlighting current challenges in accessing and decoding flight data, and introducing emerging technologies like IoT and edge computing. Attendees learned how these innovations can support predictive maintenance and smarter aviation operations.

For the final session of the day and to close the conference, Uma Shangery Aruldass from Asia Jet moderated a panel that discussed that as aircraft utilisation shifts and cost pressures mount, data-led strategies are reshaping how aviation stakeholders approach maintenance, inventory, and airworthiness management. This panel explored how digital tools, repair analytics, predictive inventory planning, and integrated aircraft storage models are enabling more agile, cost-effective decisions across the component lifecycle. From active operations to long-term aircraft storage and reactivation, speakers discussed how better data sharing and collaboration – between storage providers, repair stations, CAMO teams and operators – can improve forecasting, mitigate AOG risk, and strengthen lifecycle planning from end to end.

From everyone at Aviation Business News (ABN) we thank all the sponsors, exhibitors, speakers, and delegates for making PAM Singapore 2025 such a huge success. We look forward to welcoming back the industry to another edition of PAM APAC in 2026 – more information on the next event will be shared very soon.
