Case study - Economic trends analysis

Over the last 12 months a number of clients have approached us to help them estimate the effects of current economic trends on aerospace and aircraft deliveries. We analysed current trends in the following;

  • World GDP
  • The oil price
  • Passenger air traffic
  • Airline profitability
  • Aircraft retirements
  • Aircraft order books
  • Load factor
  • Price elasticity of air traffic

We prepared the report by analysing:

  • Major economic analyses and forecasts.
  • Aircraft order book data, identifying areas of possible weakness.
  • Aircraft fleet and age profiles
  • Historic and forecast air traffic, including how air traffic has responded to previous shocks and how air traffic responds to changing yields.
  • The impact of previous shocks on aircraft order books and delivery rates

And by speaking to analysts in: governments, large primes, investment banks, independent forecasters, and large tier 1s.
