Aviation Market Trends & Retiring Aircraft
Compared to last year’s levels of 5-year new jet purchase plans, business aviation operators reported a 2% increase in the industry (Honeywell). However, the ongoing labor, parts, and materials shortage presents aircraft manufacturers with the challenge of making their deliveries on time.
As new aircraft sales increase, this also means the aviation community must prepare to say goodbye to nearly 6,300 aircraft expected to retire over the next decade including older Citations, Learjets, and King Air 90s.
