The aviation industry is constantly seeking ways to improve efficiency and sustainability, notably, in the face of ongoing pressures such as airspace constraints, labor, and skill shortages, supply chain disruptions, delayed aircraft deliveries, and strikes. This paper discusses the potential impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on aviation maintenance operations, specifically in the areas of predictive maintenance, inventory optimization, and supplier assessment and selection in the context of sustainable procurement. By analyzing existing literature, we argue that AI has the potential to revolutionize aviation maintenance operations and contribute to more sustainable procurement in the industry.
