As the aviation industry continues its push toward smarter fleet strategy, operational agility, and around-the-clock reliability, Mercury GSE is gearing up for another year on the global stage. From maintenance innovation to equipment modernization, 2026 is shaping up to be a defining year for ramp and ground operations—and the conversations driving it will happen face-to-face across the industry’s most important events.
Here’s where Mercury GSE will be:
MRO Americas April 21 – April 23, 2026 · Orlando, FL
The largest gathering of maintenance leaders, suppliers, and operators in commercial aviation. Expect key discussions around fleet uptime, lifecycle planning, and the future of electrified and autonomous GSE support.

GSE Expo Europe September 15 – September 17, 2026 · Lisbon, Portugal
Europe’s leading ground support showcase. While Mercury GSE operates in North America, this event connects the industry globally—offering a bridge between regions, markets, and suppliers shaping the future of GSE.

Business aviation’s biggest stage. Towbarless innovation, fleet electrification, and reliability-first GSE strategy will dominate the spotlight—areas where Mercury continues to lead through equipment, support, and storytelling.
Why 2026 Matters for GSE Strategy
From rising equipment costs and longer OEM lead times to a workforce shifting toward digital-first skill sets, the industry is demanding a new approach to fleet planning. Leasing, lifecycle support, and 24/7 reliability are no longer trends—they’re operational pillars.

Keeping capital preserved
Keeping operations agile
Keeping the ramp always ready
Because GSE Never Sleeps, neither does our commitment to supporting the equipment and teams that keep aviation moving.
