Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Flight Inspection Market

The COVID-19 pandemic is hindering the economic growth of almost every country. It is adversely affecting the international transportation, which is hampering the commercial aircraft market. The restrictions on transportation and international traffic is disrupting the aerospace industry, whereas military aircraft are experiencing very low impact of this downturn on market growth. The flight inspection market is witnessing mixed impact of the pandemic situation such as the demand for flight inspection services has remained stable or increased owing to standing aircraft fleet. On other hand, the purchase of new aircraft, flight inspection systems, and other investments in the expansion of aircraft fleet are reduced as the pandemic has hindered the aviation revenue. Large number of airlines are facing major loss or a few might shutdown permanently. Lowering number of the aircraft and airlines can lower the demand of flight inspection systems and services, which would restrain the flight inspection market growth in the coming years.

Frequently Asked Questions


Which system type led the flight inspection market?

In terms of system type, the flight inspection market is segmented into fixed system, mobile system, and ground-based system. The fixed system dominated the market in 2019. The fixed system for flight inspection operation is used to serve the purpose of periodic flight inspections. A fixed system is used to navigate the aircraft for safe takeoff and landing operations at runway. Further, increased demand for automatic and stable flight inspection system in aircraft is upscaling the growth of fixed inspection systems to monitor and control the operations more effectively. Market players are also developing new systems suitable for fixed installation and offering improved inspection activities to meet the customer expectations.

Which factor is driving the flight inspection market?

Routine inspection is of utmost importance for airport authorities to smoothen the operationality of aircraft movements. Apart from routine inspection, the commissioning of inspection services is also being carried out in several countries, as numerous new airports are coming up in developed and developing countries. Over the past couple of years, several airport authorities have been investing toward the expansion of runways and terminals. APAC is foreseen to contribute significantly toward the growth of flight inspection market, as the airport authorities in countries such as China, India, Japan, and other South East Asian countries are investing toward the expansion of existing airports and construction of newer airports.

Which region led flight inspection market?

North America is the matured market with the existence of a large number of flight inspection manufacturers, aircraft OEMs, MRO service providers, and skilled workforce. The demand for advanced technologies is tremendous in the region, with all the end users mentioned above are well aware of newer technologies. Owing to this, the adoption of flight inspection solutions in commercial airports begun decades ago in the region, and are still continuing to integrate the technology on the new airport facilities.
