As a new and turbulent year gets under way, aviation decision-makers are trying to play soothsayer. But Aviation Today has saved you the trouble of gazing into a crystal ball.
We’ve gathered three of the most sought-after, influential prognosticators in aviation: The Teal Group’s Richard Aboulafia and G2 Solutions’ Michel Merluzeau. Both Richard and Michel will tell you what’s in store for you and your business, in the challenging times ahead.
The aviation industry experienced a tough year in 2008 — to put it mildly. You already know the damning bill of particulars: global credit crisis, Wall Street meltdown, economic recession, volatile fuel prices, falling passenger traffic…the list of woes goes on and on.
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) recently forecast that international air traffic will fall 3 percent in 2009 and that airlines worldwide will lose $2.5 billion. The only bright spot will be North America, where airlines are projected to make a small profit in 2009 of $300 million.
And therein lies the paradox: Despite the grim news, many profit-making opportunities still exist within all sectors of aviation, for those savvy enough to exploit them. Aviation in recent months also has witnessed a mind-boggling proliferation of technological innovation. Whether the topic is avionics, maintenance, composites, or “green aviation”, air transport has undergone sweeping transformations.
Now, on the cusp of 2009, aviation experts and insiders 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 2009.
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 the answers to these compelling questions:
- What’s in store for the major airframers? Who will pull ahead in the great competition for primacy, Boeing or Airbus?
- How badly will chronic delays with the 787 Dreamliner hurt Boeing? As the economy sours, do Boeing, Airbus and other OEMs face a flurry of order deferrals and cancellations?
- Will defense spending slow down in 2009, putting the brakes of military aviation? What are the expected spending trends for homeland defense?
- How will the new Obama administration affect aviation?
- What are the new, paradigm-shifting technologies that are on the verge of shaking up the status quo? What’s specifically in store, in terms of avionics, voice and data communications, maintenance procedures, engine capabilities, etc.?
- 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?
- Oil prices have fallen from their record highs but they remain volatile. Will the price of fuel remain a problem in 2009? 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?
- How badly will the global economic recession hit China, Russia and India? As these once-hot regions cool off, what are the ramifications for aviation OEMs, suppliers, and sub-contractors? Who stands to gain in the harsh economic climate – and who stands to lose?
- What new aviation-related regulations can we expect in the coming months? Will regulations ease or become more onerous under the new administration?
