Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on General Aviation Market
In 2020, Textron Aviation, Inc. the world’s largest general aviation manufacturer mentioned that the cyclical and lower demand for aircraft products had adversely affected their financial results. The requirement for business jets, turboprops, and commercial helicopters had been challenging to forecast due to the pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic had adversely impacted the demand for aircraft products. Therefore, the future demand for these products could be significantly and unexpectedly less than previous year deliveries. Similarly, there is uncertainty regarding the existing commercial backlog for aircraft products that would convert to revenues as the conversion depends on production capacity, customer needs, and credit availability across the market. Changes in economic conditions in the past have caused, and in the future may cause, customers to request for orders to be rescheduled, deferred, or canceled.General Aviation Market by Geography, 2020–2028 (%)
