Interflight Consulting :: Aviation & Aerospace Business Solutions

February, 2009

Oscar Garcia commented for David Koenig, Finance and Commerce, regarding the General Aviation industry state and forecasts for financing and orders. InterFlight Consulting has tracked the industry through several cycles and predicts the current one to have more of a “restructuring” effect in how aircraft are ordered and financed. The lowest priced aircraft within each segment represent the most sensitive sector to the economic recession and access to finance. Single engine pistons, light-mid jets for instance, will see the strongest hit in new and existing order cancellations. The turboprop sector remains strong and will be neutral or even show a slight increase; depending on oil price stability (instability helps turboprops!).
