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.

As a result, understanding who will recover more quickly, and more sustainably, will require much more detailed analysis than before.

Another side of the tanker story

October 8, 2009

Pentagon in the Tanker | spectator.org

This acquisition is going to be political before it is anything else. Congress cannot stay out of it and the vendors are lining up their supporters. No matter what the SecDef says. Which is why he was clever to hand back the decision to the Air Force. Who would want to be in the midst of this?
