The Aviation Week Network issued its 2019 Fleet & MRO Forecasts. Covering the commercial aviation, military, business aviation and helicopter market sectors, among the findings are that the emerging market’s desire for air services is driving much of commercial aircraft demand over the upcoming decade and that Airbus and Boeing will control 81% of the unit delivery market, 94% of the retail delivery value and their aircraft will be responsible for 89% of the overall MRO aftermarket business over the next decade.

In addition, business aviation growth is being spurred by the introduction of new aircraft models, new, efficient aircraft engines as well as a business utilization recovery and recovering used aircraft prices and the civil helicopter market’s similar development of new aircraft entrants, along with the recovery of oil and gas prices, should help that market sustain slightly higher new growth prospects.
