The S W O T framework presents strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats related to smart technology adoption in aviation maintenance organisations. Strengths include established safety management systems, skilled personnel with adaptive learning capacity, and successful augmented reality and radio-frequency identification pilot implementations. Weaknesses include budgetary constraints for high-capital expenditure technologies, inconsistent digital infrastructure across maintenance, repair, and overhaul organisations, and limited structured feedback and upskilling programmes. Opportunities include increasing civil aviation demand in the region, regulatory support through the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines digitalisation roadmap, and growing market interest from technology vendors. Threats include regulatory ambiguity regarding data privacy for artificial intelligence systems, labour resistance to automation initiatives, and fragmented implementation standards across maintenance, repair, and overhaul organisations.SWOT Matrix of Smart Technology Integration in Philippine MROs: Internal and External Factors Influencing Adoption Readiness
