Recovery In Business Jet Demand - A Few Simple Truths
October 29, 2009
Business-Jet Demand Likely to Skid Before Regaining Lift | online.wsj.com
1) A brief historical review will show any casual observer that new jet deliveries lag wider economic recovery by some 12 months. 2) Demand heading into the current downturn was already dominated by international demand. 3) What most forecasts fail to highlight is who the winners will be as the business jet market recovers. Unlike prior cycles, some demand sources will be late to the party, and demand will not be evenly distributed across all OEMs and service providers.

Business Jet Recovery - The Road Ahead
October 28, 2009
Textron Barely Posts a Profit | online.wsj.com
The business jet cycle has certainly hit rock bottom, but will not show clear signs of recovery for at least six months. This recovery will be unique, in that there is significantly more competition, in virtually all major business aviation segments. As a result, understanding who will recover more quickly, and more sustainably, will require much more detailed analysis than before.

Business aviation market recovery will be unlike any prior cycle
March 27, 2009
business-jet market faces recession-based challenges | online.wsj.com
1) The current downturn was already evident in late 2007. Between rising used aircraft inventories, and tightness in the aircraft financing market, a significant downturn was inevitable. The major OEM's maintained record production rates, with scant regard for an imminent slowdown, much as they did in 2001/2002. 2) These same OEM's have also under-analyzed their backlog, boasting numbers they claimed would make them all-but invulnerable to any downturn. Backlog has meant less in recent years as speculators and international concept buyers, all of whom carry risk for OEM's, have come to represent an ever higher proportion of backlog. 3) Looking forward, we are set for a competitive battle unlike any we have seen previously. Segments are now crowded. More international OEM's are emerging, and demand will drift away from legacy OEM's, like Cessna, Hawker Beechcraft and Gulfstream.
