New Delhi. 06 January 2026. DHL India, the country’s leading logistics and express delivery specialist, has come on board as the Bronze Partner for the 7th Aerospace & Defence MRO South Asia Summit 2026, co-located with MRO XPO India, Defence MRO XPO India and Aircraft Interiors India 2026. The flagship event will be held in India International Convention & Expo Centre (IICC), Dwarka, New Delhi and will bring together global airlines, MROs, OEMs, lessors, regulators and supply chain leaders to chart the future of aviation maintenance in South Asia.
DHL India’s participation significantly strengthens the Summit’s Aerospace Logistics focus, one of the most critical and fast-evolving pillars of the modern MRO ecosystem.
Projecting aerospace logistics as the backbone of maintenance continuity
In today’s hyper-connected aviation environment, logistics has emerged as the defining success factor for maintenance reliability, turnaround time performance and aircraft availability. Global MRO supply chains continue to face unprecedented stress due to:
- Prolonged OEM lead times
• Global engine part shortages
• Limited rotable availability
• post-pandemic demand surges
• Geopolitical disruptions and regional conflicts
• Increasing regulatory and sustainability compliance requirements
These pressures have fundamentally reshaped how airlines and MROs manage spares provisioning, AOG recovery, component pooling and cross-border logistics planning.
DHL’s strategic role in the global MRO supply chain
With its deep expertise in aviation logistics, AOG recovery, temperature-controlled transport, customs brokerage and time-critical aerospace movements, DHL plays a decisive role in enabling airlines and MROs to minimise aircraft downtime, improve asset availability and protect fleet performance.
DHL India’s presence at MRO South Asia 2026 will bring critical insights into:
- Managing spares shortages and lead-time volatility
• Building resilient regional supply chains
• Reducing AOG exposure
• Enhancing customs clearance and bonded warehousing efficiencies
• Integrating sustainability into logistics planning
Strengthening South Asia’s MRO readiness
India and South Asia are entering one of the fastest fleet expansion cycles globally. With hundreds of new aircraft deliveries expected over the next decade, logistics resilience will be as critical as hangar capacity and manpower availability.
DHL India’s partnership underlines the Summit’s commitment to building a fully integrated, future-ready MRO ecosystem that goes beyond maintenance execution to address the most pressing bottlenecks of modern aviation.
