Commercial aviation is experiencing one of the most significant demand surges in its history. IATA reports full-year passenger traffic in 2024 rose 10.4% versus 2023, landing 3.8% above 2019 levels. Boeing and Airbus combined backlogs stood at 14,773 jets at the end of 2025, with narrow-body models representing over 80% of orders. Delivery rates are normalizing as supply chain bottlenecks ease, with combined handovers targeted at 1,400 aircraft annually. Aftermarket companies report robust momentum with double-digit growth and record backlogs, with engine MRO as the dominant driver. In April 2025, Airbus entered into a definitive agreement with Spirit AeroSystems for the acquisition of industrial assets for its commercial aircraft programs.
This report provides significant competitor information, analysis, and insight critical to the development and implementation of effective marketing and R&D programs.
