NICHOLAS AIR CEO Nicholas Correnti to Keynote BizAv Maintenance Conference in London on September 3
Why It MattersOperator-led sessions on engine programs and escalation clauses signal that maintenance cost predictability is becoming a shared negotiating concern between operators and MRO suppliers.
What happened
Nicholas Correnti, Founder and CEO of NICHOLAS AIR, is returning as a keynote speaker at the BizAv Maintenance Conference on September 3, 2026, held at the Hilton London Heathrow Airport Terminal 5.

Correnti is scheduled to participate in two sessions: "The Operators' Approach to Maintenance" and "Engine Maintenance Programmes." The discussions are expected to cover changing operator priorities, supplier relationships, engine program value, escalation clauses, and long-term cost predictability.
The conference brings together senior leaders, aircraft operators, maintenance organizations, OEM representatives, technicians, and other professionals in the business aviation maintenance sector. NICHOLAS AIR is a Part 135 private aviation operator that offers jet card programs, fractional ownership, and pilot career development programs, and describes itself as the largest independently owned and operated air travel provider of its kind.
Industry impact & what to watch
Operator participation in maintenance conferences reflects a broader pattern where the commercial side of aviation increasingly engages directly with the technical and supply side, rather than leaving cost and program design purely to OEMs and MRO providers. Sessions built around engine program value, escalation clauses, and long-term cost predictability point to how fractional and jet card operators manage exposure to variable maintenance costs across large managed fleets.
Such cross-functional forums typically function as venues where operators voice priorities that later shape supplier contract terms, even though no specific commercial outcome is reported here. Whether this translates into changed terms for NICHOLAS AIR or others will depend on what emerges from the sessions themselves, which have not yet occurred.
