Great article and update of the MRO challenges and forecasts for 2024. Good analysis as well by Beroe Inc regarding the MRO community going over operational processes changes to support and benefit from the ongoing digital transformation of our industry. I'm glad to see the reference to #blockchain technology obviously. It is foreseen by many, including us at SkyThread, as the foundation solution for sharing data in a trusted and neutral network. Such disruptive solution allows all the contributors of the MRO ecosystem to finally collect and share technical data on parts history, event after event, on and off aircraft, from birth to disposal, allowing all other digital activities you referenced in the article to effectively be accelerated in the future.
