Over the years, it has evolved into what is now the ALTA CCMA & MRO Conference, which brings together over 700 technical and maintenance executives in the Americas at the region’s largest and longest-running conference.
The conference format enables high-quality relationship building through relevant academic discussions. The conference agenda includes:
Minimeetings: 10-minute business rounds between airline purchasing departments and suppliers.
An academic agenda of current and relevant topics.
ALTA’s Purchasing and Maintenance Committee meetings, where experiences are shared on impactful issues.
Social and sporting activities that foster quality networking.
The event also recognizes the best suppliers in the region. These suppliers are chosen through a survey conducted by ALTA with airlines. Today, some suppliers are using the results of the ALTA Supplier Assessment Survey to establish their KPIs. The survey identifies opportunities for improvement and the information is shared with the suppliers.
