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.
