Despite the uncertainty still gripping all aviation niches, signs of economic growth are starting to appear. After a grueling year, hope is in the air. Plenty of moneymaking opportunities exist for those who possess a clear head and the right data.

To examine the challenges and opportunities of 2010, we’ve gathered two of the most widely followed analysts in aviation: The Teal Group’s Richard Aboulafia and G2 Solutions’ Michel Merluzeau. This webinar will examine both the commercial and military sectors of aviation, to provide you with practical, actionable advice on how to boost your company’s bottom line in the turbulent year ahead.

Aviation in recent months also has witnessed an impressive array of technological innovation. Whether the topic is avionics, MROs, composites, engines, or “eco-aviation”, air transport has undergone dramatic improvements.

Now, as 2010 is about to begin, aviation decision-makers of all types are wondering: what can we expect in the year ahead? This timely webinar brings together two deeply informed analysts who will examine the major events of the past year and, from this examination, draw lessons that shed light on 2010.

From the trends of the recent past, our speakers will extrapolate as to what the aviation world can expect in the coming weeks and months. This webinar also is interactive: registrants can pose questions to the speakers for discussion in real time.

You’ll hear specific predictions, based on solid reporting, that will help you run your business more efficiently – and more profitably. Remember: the battle is won before the fight, through preparation. This webinar will prepare aviation insiders for anything that may come their way in the new year.

You'll learn:

• What are the latest trends in the eternal competition between Boeing and Airbus? Which airframer has the upper hand for 2010? Are smaller OEMs posing a serious challenge to these two behemoths?

• Will the 787 Dreamliner’s well-publicized woes in 2009 become a distant memory in 2010, or will the problem-plagued airliner continue to hurt Boeing in the year ahead?

• As the global recession shows signs of easing, are Brazil, Russia, India, and China back on the upswing? As these regions heat up again, what are the ramifications for aviation OEMs, suppliers, and sub-contractors?

• During the recent downturn in the commercial sector, aviation was buoyed by consistently strong defense outlays. Will defense spending slow down in 2010, putting the brakes on both military and commercial aviation? Or will defense’s winning streak continue?

• What are the expected spending trends for homeland defense? Which companies stand to gain the most?

• How will the Obama administration’s recent defense “reforms” affect aviation?

• What’s on the horizon, in the form of new avionics, maintenance procedures, engine capabilities, etc.? What will happen with the global airspace, as initiatives such as NextGen come closer to fruition?

• How will mounting concerns over global warming and the environment affect air transport? Will green aviation be a boon, or a hindrance to growth? How can aviation companies monetize this green trend?

• Will the price of fuel remain a problem in 2010? How are aviation companies planning to cope with fuel costs?

• Which niches – regional aviation, training, military transports, etc. – are poised for recovery? Which are heading for even deeper lows?

• What new aviation-related regulations can we expect in the coming months? Will regulations ease or become more onerous under the new administration?
